[PATCH] Squashfs: fix handling and sanity checking of xattr_ids count

From: Phillip Lougher

A Sysbot [1] corrupted filesystem exposes two flaws in the
handling and sanity checking of the xattr_ids count in the
filesystem. Both of these flaws cause computation overflow
due to incorrect typing.

In the corrupted filesystem the xattr_ids value is 4294967071, which
stored in a signed variable becomes the negative number -225.

Flaw 1 (64-bit systems only):

The signed integer xattr_ids variable causes sign extension.

This causes variable overflow in the SQUASHFS_XATTR_*(A) macros.
The variable is first multiplied by sizeof(struct squashfs_xattr_id)
where the type of the sizeof operator is "unsigned long".

On a 64-bit system this is 64-bits in size, and causes the negative
number to be sign extended and widened to 64-bits and then become unsigned.
This produces the very large number 18446744073709548016 or 2^64 - 3600.
This number when rounded up by SQUASHFS_METADATA_SIZE - 1 (8191 bytes) and
divided by SQUASHFS_METADATA_SIZE overflows and produces a length of 0
(stored in len).

Flaw 2 (32-bit systems only):

On a 32-bit system the integer variable is not widened by the unsigned
long type of the sizeof operator (32-bits), and the signedness of the
variable has no effect due it always being treated as unsigned.

The above corrupted xattr_ids value of 4294967071, when multiplied
overflows and produces the number 4294963696 or 2^32 - 3400. This
number when rounded up by SQUASHFS_METADATA_SIZE - 1 (8191 bytes) and
divided by SQUASHFS_METADATA_SIZE overflows again and produces a length
of 0.

The effect of the 0 length computation:

In conjunction with the corrupted xattr_ids field, the filesystem
also has a corrupted xattr_table_start value, where it matches
the end of filesystem value of 850.

This causes the following sanity check code to fail because the incorrectly
computed len of 0 matches the incorrect size of the table reported by the
superblock (0 bytes).

len = SQUASHFS_XATTR_BLOCK_BYTES(*xattr_ids);
indexes = SQUASHFS_XATTR_BLOCKS(*xattr_ids);

/*
* The computed size of the index table (len bytes) should exactly
* match the table start and end points
*/
start = table_start + sizeof(*id_table);
end = msblk->bytes_used;

if (len != (end - start))
return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);

Changing the xattr_ids variable to be "usigned int" fixes the flaw
on a 64-bit system. This relies on the fact the computation is widened
by the unsigned long type of the sizeof operator.

Casting the variable to u64 in the above macro fixes this flaw on a 32-bit
system.

It also means 64-bit systems do not implicitly rely on the type of the
sizeof operator to widen the computation.
