Description

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

ocfs2: fix crash when mount with quota enabled

There is a reported crash when mounting ocfs2 with quota enabled.

RIP: 0010:ocfs2_qinfo_lock_res_init+0x44/0x50 [ocfs2]
Call Trace:
ocfs2_local_read_info+0xb9/0x6f0 [ocfs2]
dquot_load_quota_sb+0x216/0x470
dquot_load_quota_inode+0x85/0x100
ocfs2_enable_quotas+0xa0/0x1c0 [ocfs2]
ocfs2_fill_super.cold+0xc8/0x1bf [ocfs2]

vfs_get_tree+0x25/0xb0
path_mount+0x465/0xac0
__x64_sys_mount+0x103/0x140

It is caused by when initializing dqi_gqlock, the corresponding dqi_type
and dqi_sb are not properly initialized.

This issue is introduced by commit 6c85c2c72819, which wants to avoid
accessing uninitialized variables in error cases. So make global quota
info properly initialized.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
