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

f2fs: fix to cover read extent cache access with lock

syzbot reports a f2fs bug as below:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sanitycheckextentcache+0x370/0x410 fs/f2fs/extentcache.c:46 Read of size 4 at addr ffff8880739ab220 by task syz-executor200/5097

We missed to cover sanitycheckextent_cache() w/ extent cache lock, so, below race case may happen, result in use after free issue.

  • f2fsiget
    • doreadinode
      • f2fsinitreadextenttree : add largest extent entry in to cache
        • shrink
          • f2fsshrinkreadextenttree
            • shrinkextenttree
              • detachextentnode : drop largest extent entry
      • sanitycheckextentcache : access et->largest w/o lock

let's refactor sanitycheckextentcache() to avoid extent cache access and call it before f2fsinitreadextent_tree() to fix this issue.
