In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
freevxfs: don't BUG() on unknown typed-extent type
vxfs bmap typed() handles four typed-extent types and calls BUG() in
its default case, so an on-disk typed extent with any other type value
crashes the kernel. It is reachable from ioctl(FIBMAP) on a regular
file:
kernel BUG at fs/freevxfs/vxfs bmap.c:230!
RIP: vxfs bmap typed fs/freevxfs/vxfs bmap.c:230 [inline]
vxfs bmap1+0x128a/0x12d0 fs/freevxfs/vxfs bmap.c:257
Replace the BUG() with WARN ON ONCE() and return 0 -- the value
vxfs bmap typed() already returns on failure (and from the DEV4 case
above); vxfs getblk() maps 0 to -EIO, so the ioctl fails cleanly.
