isofs: Prevent the use of too small fid
CVE: CVE-2025-37780
Component: kernel
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Release date: 2025-05-01T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

isofs: Prevent the use of too small fid

syzbot reported a slab-out-of-bounds Read in isofs_fh_to_parent. [1]

The handle_bytes value passed in by the reproducing program is equal to 12.
In handle_to_path(), only 12 bytes of memory are allocated for the structure
file_handle->f_handle member, which causes an out-of-bounds access when
accessing the member parent_block of the structure isofs_fid in isofs,
because accessing parent_block requires at least 16 bytes of f_handle.
Here, fh_len is used to indirectly confirm that the value of handle_bytes
is greater than 3 before accessing parent_block.

Statement: A missing length check in isofs_fh_to_parent() allows an out-of-bounds read when processing too-short file identifiers via exportfs. This can lead to information disclosure in kernel memory, as reported by syzbot using KASAN.
