ext[234]: Avoid printk floods in the face of directory corruption (CVE-2008-3528)
This is a trivial backport of the following upstream commits: - bd39597cbd42a784105a04010100e27267481c67 (ext2) - cdbf6dba28e8e6268c8420857696309470009fd9 (ext3) - 9d9f177572d9e4eba0f2e18523b44f90dd51fe74 (ext4) This addresses CVE-2008-3528 ext[234]: Avoid printk floods in the face of directory corruption Note: some people thinks this represents a security bug, since it might make the system go away while it is printing a large number of console messages, especially if a serial console is involved. Hence, it has been assigned CVE-2008-3528, but it requires that the attacker either has physical access to your machine to insert a USB disk with a corrupted filesystem image (at which point why not just hit the power button), or is otherwise able to convince the system administrator to mount an arbitrary filesystem image (at which point why not just include a setuid shell or world-writable hard disk device file or some such). Me, I think they're just being silly. --tytso Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org Cc: Eugene Teo <eugeneteo@kernel.sg> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
