            Bug ID: 263971
           Summary: malicious superblock can cause buffer overflow during
                    tasting
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rtm@lcs.mit.edu

disk image with malicious superblock fields that cause buffer overflow duri=
ng
tasting

ffs_sbget() allocates some memory into which it reads file system
information, using fields from the superblock to choose a size:

    size =3D fs->fs_cssize;
    if (fs->fs_contigsumsize > 0)
        size +=3D fs->fs_ncg * sizeof(int32_t);
    size +=3D fs->fs_ncg * sizeof(u_int8_t);
    ...;
    if ((space =3D UFS_MALLOC(size, filltype, M_WAITOK)) =3D=3D NULL) {

An attacker can choose values that cause size to be too small, causing
subsequent code to write beyond the end of space.

The attached disk image has a superblock with

  fs_cssize -1434999068
  fs_contigsumsize 2147483647
  fs_ncg 287173615

The calculated size is 869007.

Later on:

    if (fs->fs_contigsumsize > 0) {
        fs->fs_maxcluster =3D lp =3D (int32_t *)space;
        for (i =3D 0; i < fs->fs_ncg; i++)
            *lp++ =3D fs->fs_contigsumsize;

Since fs_ncg > size, this loop writes the attacker-chosen
fs_contigsumsize beyond the allocated space.

What I see when the attached disk image is tasted:
