Since seekdir() does not check whether the position is valid, the position may exceed the size of the directory. We found that for a directory with discontinuous clusters, if the position exceeds the size of the directory and the excess size is greater than or equal to the cluster size, exfat_readdir() will return -EIO, causing a file system error and making the file system unavailable. Reproduce this bug by: seekdir(dir, dir_size + cluster_size); dirent = readdir(dir); The following log will be printed if mount with 'errors=remount-ro'. [11166.712896] exFAT-fs (sdb1): error, invalid access to FAT (entry 0xffffffff) [11166.712905] exFAT-fs (sdb1): Filesystem has been set read-only Fixes: 1e5654de0f51 ("exfat: handle wrong stream entry size in exfat_readdir()") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.7+ Signed-off-by: Yuezhang Mo <Yuezhang.Mo@sony.com> Reviewed-by: Andy Wu <Andy.Wu@sony.com> Reviewed-by: Aoyama Wataru <wataru.aoyama@sony.com> Reviewed-by: Sungjong Seo <sj1557.seo@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
