btrfs: fix transaction abort on set received ioctl due to item overflow
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix transaction abort on set received ioctl due to item overflow
If the set received ioctl fails due to an item overflow when attempting to
add the BTRFS_UUID_KEY_RECEIVED_SUBVOL we have to abort the transaction
since we did some metadata updates before.
This means that if a user calls this ioctl with the same received UUID
field for a lot of subvolumes, we will hit the overflow, trigger the
transaction abort and turn the filesystem into RO mode. A malicious user
could exploit this, and this ioctl does not even requires that a user
has admin privileges (CAP_SYS_ADMIN), only that he/she owns the subvolume.
Fix this by doing an early check for item overflow before starting a
transaction. This is also race safe because we are holding the subvol_sem
semaphore in exclusive (write) mode.
A test case for fstests will follow soon.
