CVE-2025-68266
bfs: Reconstruct file type when loading from disk
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bfs: Reconstruct file type when loading from disk
syzbot is reporting that S_IFMT bits of inode->i_mode can become bogus when
the S_IFMT bits of the 32bits "mode" field loaded from disk are corrupted
or when the 32bits "attributes" field loaded from disk are corrupted.
A documentation says that BFS uses only lower 9 bits of the "mode" field.
But I can't find an explicit explanation that the unused upper 23 bits
(especially, the S_IFMT bits) are initialized with 0.
Therefore, ignore the S_IFMT bits of the "mode" field loaded from disk.
Also, verify that the value of the "attributes" field loaded from disk is
either BFS_VREG or BFS_VDIR (because BFS supports only regular files and
the root directory).
