Subject: [PATCH 2/2] e2fsprogs: don't allow udisks to automount ext4
filesystems with no prompt
From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@...nel.org>
The unending stream of syzbot bug reports and overwrought filing of CVEs
for corner case handling (i.e. things that distract from actual user
complaints) in ext4 has generated all sorts of of overheated rhetoric
about how every bug is a Serious Security Issue(tm) because anyone can
craft a malicious filesystem on a USB stick, insert the stick into a
victim machine, and mount will trigger a bug in the kernel driver that
leads to some compromise or DoS or something.
I thought that nobody would be foolish enough to automount an ext4
filesystem. What a fool I was! It turns out that udisks can be told
that it's okay to automount things, and then GNOME will do exactly that.
Including mounting mangled ext4 filesystems!
<delete angry rant about poor decisionmaking and armchair fs developers
blasting us on X while not actually doing any of the work>
Turn off /this/ idiocy by adding a udev rule to tell udisks not to
automount ext4 filesystems.
This will not stop a logged in user from unwittingly inserting a
malicious storage device and pressing [mount] and getting breached.
This is not a substitute for a thorough audit of all codebases. This is
not a substitute for lklfuse. This does not solve the general problem
of in-kernel fs drivers being a huge attack surface. I just want a
vacation from the sh*tstorm of bad ideas and threat models that I never
agreed to support.
