Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubifs: Fix read out-of-bounds in ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock()
Function ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock() may access buf out of bounds in
following process:
ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock():
aligned_len = ALIGN(len, 8); // Assume len = 4089, aligned_len = 4096
if (aligned_len <= wbuf->avail) ... // Not satisfy
if (wbuf->used) {
ubifs_leb_write() // Fill some data in avail wbuf
len -= wbuf->avail; // len is still not 8-bytes aligned
aligned_len -= wbuf->avail;
}
n = aligned_len >> c->max_write_shift;
if (n) {
n <<= c->max_write_shift;
err = ubifs_leb_write(c, wbuf->lnum, buf + written,
wbuf->offs, n);
// n > len, read out of bounds less than 8(n-len) bytes
}
, which can be catched by KASAN:

Function ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock() accepts that parameter 'len' is not 8
bytes aligned, the 'len' represents the true length of buf (which is
allocated in 'ubifs_jnl_xxx', eg. ubifs_jnl_write_inode), so
ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock() must handle the length read from 'buf' carefully
to write leb safely.
