Summary

In NILFS utilities through version 2.3.0, the nilfs_sb_is_valid() function fails to validate the s_log_block_size field in the NILFS2 superblock before bit-shift operations. Attackers can supply crafted NILFS2 images to trigger undefined behavior through oversized shifts or out-of-memory conditions, crashing tools like nilfs-tune and dumpseg.

Risk Assessment

The organization is exposed to denial of service (DoS) attacks via crashes of NILFS2 filesystem management tools. This can prevent filesystem administration and potentially lead to data loss.

Recommendation

Immediately update NILFS utilities to a version containing commit 26efb5d or later. If an update is not possible, avoid mounting or analyzing untrusted NILFS2 images.
