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

btrfs: tree-checker: validate INODE_REF's namelen

[BUG] A crafted btrfs image can trigger the following crash:

The itemsize matches the namelen, but the namelen is 4096, way larger than normal name length limit (BTRFS_NAME_LEN, 255).

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
