    btrfs: only search for left_info if there is no right_info in try_merge_free_space · bf53d468
    Josef Bacik authored
    In try_to_merge_free_space we attempt to find entries to the left and
    right of the entry we are adding to see if they can be merged.  We
    search for an entry past our current info (saved into right_info), and
    then if right_info exists and it has a rb_prev() we save the rb_prev()
    into left_info.
    
    However there's a slight problem in the case that we have a right_info,
    but no entry previous to that entry.  At that point we will search for
    an entry just before the info we're attempting to insert.  This will
    simply find right_info again, and assign it to left_info, making them
    both the same pointer.
    
    Now if right_info _can_ be merged with the range we're inserting, we'll
    add it to the info and free right_info.  However further down we'll
    access left_info, which was right_info, and thus get a use-after-free.
    
    Fix this by only searching for the left entry if we don't find a right
    entry at all.
    
    The CVE referenced had a specially crafted file system that could
    trigger this use-after-free. However with the tree checker improvements
    we no longer trigger the conditions for the UAF.  But the original
    conditions still apply, hence this fix.
