Meanwhile the memory of the @name is only 255 byte sized, this will cause out-of-boundary access, and cause the above crash. [FIX] Add extra namelen verification for INODE_REF, just like what we have done in ROOT_REF checks. Now the crafted image can be rejected gracefully: BTRFS critical (device dm-2): corrupt leaf: root=5 block=30572544 slot=14 ino=259, invalid inode ref name length, has 4096 expect [1, 255] BTRFS error (device dm-2): read time tree block corruption detected on logical 30572544 mirror 2 [ Rebase, add a Link: tag, add an simple cause analyze ]
