From 5e1275808630ea3b2c97c776f40e475017535f72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2018 12:15:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: check whiteout in ovl_create_over_whiteout() Kaixuxia repors that it's possible to crash overlayfs by removing the whiteout on the upper layer before creating a directory over it. This is a reproducer: mkdir lower upper work merge touch lower/file mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merge rm merge/file ls -al merge/file rm upper/file ls -al merge/ mkdir merge/file Before commencing with a vfs_rename(..., RENAME_EXCHANGE) verify that the lookup of "upper" is positive and is a whiteout, and return ESTALE otherwise.
