ext4: fail ext4_iget for root directory if unallocated
commit 8e4b5eae5decd9dfe5a4ee369c22028f90ab4c44 upstream. If the root directory has an i_links_count of zero, then when the file system is mounted, then when ext4_fill_super() notices the problem and tries to call iput() the root directory in the error return path, ext4_evict_inode() will try to free the inode on disk, before all of the file system structures are set up, and this will result in an OOPS caused by a NULL pointer dereference. This issue has been assigned CVE-2018-1092. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199179 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1560777 Reported-by: Wen Xu <wen.xu@gatech.edu> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org [harsh@prjkt.io: s/EFSCORRUPTED/EUCLEAN/ fs/ext4/inode.c] Signed-off-by: Harsh Shandilya <harsh@prjkt.io> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
