Summary

In the Linux kernel, f2fs stores recovery filenames as a length plus a fixed-size i_name buffer that is not NUL-terminated, but recover_inode() and recover_dentry() print it with %s. For a 255-byte filename, recovery logging can read past i_name into the following raw inode fields.

Risk Assessment

May lead to leakage of kernel memory contents (data from adjacent inode fields) into logs. Requires local access and f2fs recovery operations.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that prints the name with a precision bounded by i_namelen and F2FS_NAME_LEN.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: limit recovery filename logging to stored length F2FS stores recovery filenames as a length plus a fixed-size i_name buffer. The buffer is not NUL-terminated, but recover_inode() and recover_dentry() print it with %s. For a 255-byte filename, recovery logging can read past i_name into the following raw inode fields. Print the name with a precision bounded by i_namelen and F2FS_NAME_LEN.
