| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix symbolic link reading when bs > ps [BUG DURING BS > PS TEST] When running the following script on a btrfs whose block size is larger than page size, e.g. 8K block size and 4K page size, it will trigger a kernel BUG: # mkfs.btrfs -s 8k $dev # mount $dev $mnt # mkdir $mnt/dir # ln -s dir $mnt/link # ls $mnt/link The call trace looks like this: BTRFS warning (device dm-2): support for block size 8192 with page size 4096 is experimental, some features may be missing BTRFS info (device dm-2): checking UUID tree BTRFS info (device dm-2): enabling ssd optimizations BTRFS info (device dm-2): enabling free space tree ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /home/adam/linux/include/linux/highmem.h:275!

[CAUSE] Btrfs reuses its data folio read path to handle symbolic links, as the symbolic link target is stored as an inline data extent. But for newly created inodes, btrfs only set the minimal order if the target inode is a regular file. Thus for above newly created symbolic link, it doesn't properly respect the minimal folio order, and triggered the above crash. [FIX] Call btrfs_set_inode_mapping_order() unconditionally inside btrfs_create_new_inode(). For symbolic links this will fix the crash as now the folio will meet the minimal order. For regular files this brings no change. For directory/bdev/char and all the other types of inodes, they won't go through the data read path, thus no effect either. | This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority. |
