Detail

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: fix BUG_ON() when directory entry has invalid rec_len

The rec_len field in the directory entry has to be a multiple of 4. A corrupted filesystem image can be used to hit a BUG() in ext4_rec_len_to_disk(), called from make_indexed_dir().

------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at fs/ext4/ext4.h:2413!
...
RIP: 0010:make_indexed_dir+0x53f/0x5f0
...
Call Trace:

? add_dirent_to_buf+0x1b2/0x200

ext4_add_nondir+0x2b/0xc0

__x64_sys_open+0x6c/0xa0
do_syscall_64+0x3c/0x80
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

The fix simply adds a call to ext4_check_dir_entry() to validate the directory entry, returning -EFSCORRUPTED if the entry is invalid.
