CVE-2025-40205
btrfs: avoid potential out-of-bounds in btrfs_encode_fh()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: avoid potential out-of-bounds in btrfs_encode_fh()
The function btrfs_encode_fh() does not properly account for the three
cases it handles.
Before writing to the file handle (fh), the function only returns to the
user BTRFS_FID_SIZE_NON_CONNECTABLE (5 dwords, 20 bytes) or
BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE (8 dwords, 32 bytes).
However, when a parent exists and the root ID of the parent and the
inode are different, the function writes BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE_ROOT
(10 dwords, 40 bytes).
If *max_len is not large enough, this write goes out of bounds because
BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE_ROOT is greater than
BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE originally returned.
This results in an 8-byte out-of-bounds write at
fid->parent_root_objectid = parent_root_id.
A previous attempt to fix this issue was made but was lost.

Although this issue does not seem to be easily triggerable, it is a
potential memory corruption bug that should be fixed. This patch
resolves the issue by ensuring the function returns the appropriate size
for all three cases and validates that *max_len is large enough before
writing any data.
