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

f2fs: fix to avoid out-of-boundary access in devs.path

  • touch /mnt/f2fs/012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123

  • mount /mnt/f2fs/012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123 \ /mnt/f2fs/loop

[16937.192268] F2FS-fs (loop0): Failed to find devices

If device path length equals to MAXPATHLEN, sbi->devs.path[] may not end up w/ null character due to path array is fully filled, So accidently, fields locate after path[] may be treated as part of device path, result in parsing wrong device path.

struct f2fsdevinfo { ... char path[MAXPATHLEN]; ... };

Let's add one byte space for sbi->devs.path[] to store null character of device path string.
