Subject: [Bug 199865] out-of-bound write in ext4_init_block_bitmap() when
mounting and operating a crafted ext4 image
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199865
--- Comment #6 from Theodore Tso (tytso@....edu) ---
Oops, ignore comment #5; this erroneously posted to the wrong bug.
Bug #199865 is triggered by the fact block group descriptors were corrupted due
to the fact that one of the allocation bitmaps overlapped with the block group
descriptors. Then when a block bitmap needed to be initialized, the corrupted
block group descriptors resulted in the byte before the bitmap getting zero'ed.
This will be fixed via these patches:
ext4: always check block group bounds in ext4_init_block_bitmap()
ext4: make sure bitmaps and the inode table don't overlap with bg
descriptors
