This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled reiserfs: fix problems with chowning setuid file w/ xattrs to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.4. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From c7d69d33d86dec8139e7a1af916d5d0a8e60b601 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Date: Fri, 31 May 2013 15:54:17 -0400 Subject: reiserfs: fix problems with chowning setuid file w/ xattrs commit 4a8570112b76a63ad21cfcbe2783f98f7fd5ba1b upstream. reiserfs_chown_xattrs() takes the iattr struct passed into ->setattr and uses it to iterate over all the attrs associated with a file to change ownership of xattrs (and transfer quota associated with the xattr files). When the setuid bit is cleared during chown, ATTR_MODE and iattr->ia_mode are passed to all the xattrs as well. This means that the xattr directory will have S_IFREG added to its mode bits. This has been prevented in practice by a missing IS_PRIVATE check in reiserfs_acl_chmod, which caused a double-lock to occur while holding the write lock. Since the file system was completely locked up, the writeout of the corrupted mode never happened. This patch temporarily clears everything but ATTR_UID|ATTR_GID for the calls to reiserfs_setattr and adds the missing IS_PRIVATE check.
