Subject: CVE-2024-26981: nilfs2: fix OOB in nilfs_set_de_type

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nilfs2: fix OOB in nilfs_set_de_type

The size of the nilfs_type_by_mode array in the fs/nilfs2/dir.c file is
defined as "S_IFMT >> S_SHIFT", but the nilfs_set_de_type() function,
which uses this array, specifies the index to read from the array in the
same way as "(mode & S_IFMT) >> S_SHIFT".

static void nilfs_set_de_type(struct nilfs_dir_entry *de, struct inode
 *inode)
{
	umode_t mode = inode->i_mode;

	de->file_type = nilfs_type_by_mode[(mode & S_IFMT)>>S_SHIFT]; // oob
}

However, when the index is determined this way, an out-of-bounds (OOB)
error occurs by referring to an index that is 1 larger than the array size
when the condition "mode & S_IFMT == S_IFMT" is satisfied.  Therefore, a
patch to resize the nilfs_type_by_mode array should be applied to prevent
OOB errors.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-26981 to this issue.

==============

The file(s) affected by this issue are:
	fs/nilfs2/dir.c


Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
