Qasim Ijaz 81a82e8f33 isofs: fix KMSAN uninit-value bug in do_isofs_readdir()
In do_isofs_readdir() when assigning the variable
"struct iso_directory_record *de" the b_data field of the buffer_head
is accessed and an offset is added to it, the size of b_data is 2048
and the offset size is 2047, meaning
"de = (struct iso_directory_record *) (bh->b_data + offset);"
yields the final byte of the 2048 sized b_data block.

The first byte of the directory record (de_len) is then read and
found to be 31, meaning the directory record size is 31 bytes long.
The directory record is defined by the structure:

	struct iso_directory_record {
		__u8 length;                     // 1 byte
		__u8 ext_attr_length;            // 1 byte
		__u8 extent[8];                  // 8 bytes
		__u8 size[8];                    // 8 bytes
		__u8 date[7];                    // 7 bytes
		__u8 flags;                      // 1 byte
		__u8 file_unit_size;             // 1 byte
		__u8 interleave;                 // 1 byte
		__u8 volume_sequence_number[4];  // 4 bytes
		__u8 name_len;                   // 1 byte
		char name[];                     // variable size
	} __attribute__((packed));

The fixed portion of this structure occupies 33 bytes. Therefore, a
valid directory record must be at least 33 bytes long
(even without considering the variable-length name field).
Since de_len is only 31, it is insufficient to contain
the complete fixed header.

The code later hits the following sanity check that
compares de_len against the sum of de->name_len and
sizeof(struct iso_directory_record):

	if (de_len < de->name_len[0] + sizeof(struct iso_directory_record)) {
		...
	}

Since the fixed portion of the structure is
33 bytes (up to and including name_len member),
a valid record should have de_len of at least 33 bytes;
here, however, de_len is too short, and the field de->name_len
(located at offset 32) is accessed even though it lies beyond
the available 31 bytes.

This access on the corrupted isofs data triggers a KASAN uninitialized
memory warning. The fix would be to first verify that de_len is at least
sizeof(struct iso_directory_record) before accessing any
fields like de->name_len.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
