    Subject[PATCH 5.10 516/545] ext4: check if directory block is within i_size
    Date
    From: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com>

    commit 65f8ea4cd57dbd46ea13b41dc8bac03176b04233 upstream.

    Currently ext4 directory handling code implicitly assumes that the
    directory blocks are always within the i_size. In fact ext4_append()
    will attempt to allocate next directory block based solely on i_size and
    the i_size is then appropriately increased after a successful
    allocation.

    However, for this to work it requires i_size to be correct. If, for any
    reason, the directory inode i_size is corrupted in a way that the
    directory tree refers to a valid directory block past i_size, we could
    end up corrupting parts of the directory tree structure by overwriting
    already used directory blocks when modifying the directory.

    Fix it by catching the corruption early in __ext4_read_dirblock().
