From 3e0a396546450536679ae4d3bd70290ce0b0c79c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2015 21:39:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fix type confusion in xfs_ioc_swapext Without this check, the following XFS_I invocations would return bad pointers when used on non-XFS inodes (perhaps pointers into preceding allocator chunks). This could be used by an attacker to trick xfs_swap_extents into performing locking operations on attacker-chosen structures in kernel memory, potentially leading to code execution in the kernel. (I have not investigated how likely this is to be usable for an attack in practice.)
