CVE-2012-5374 (published 2013-02-18T11:56Z)

The CRC32C feature in the Btrfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.8-rc1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (extended runtime of kernel code) by creating many different files whose names are associated with the same CRC32C hash value.

Severity: MEDIUM
CVSS v2 base score: 4.0 (AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C)

Weakness information:
cwe_id: CWE-310
cwe_name: Cryptographic Issues
description: Weaknesses in this category are related to the design and implementation of data confidentiality and integrity. Frequently these deal with the use of encoding techniques, encryption libraries, and hashing algorithms. The weaknesses in this category could lead to a degradation of the quality data if they are not addressed.

msg: Btrfs: fix hash overflow handling

The handling for directory crc hash overflows was fairly obscure,
split_leaf returns EOVERFLOW when we try to extend the item and that is
supposed to bubble up to userland.  For a while it did so, but along the
way we added better handling of errors and forced the FS readonly if we
hit IO errors during the directory insertion.

Along the way, we started testing only for EEXIST and the EOVERFLOW case
was dropped.  The end result is that we may force the FS readonly if we
catch a directory hash bucket overflow.

This fixes a few problem spots.  First I add tests for EOVERFLOW in the
places where we can safely just return the error up the chain.

btrfs_rename is harder though, because it tries to insert the new
directory item only after it has already unlinked anything the rename
was going to overwrite.  Rather than adding very complex logic, I added
a helper to test for the hash overflow case early while it is still safe
to bail out.

Snapshot and subvolume creation had a similar problem, so they are using
the new helper now too.
