In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: validate external xattr entries when reading metadata
ocfs2_validate_xattr_block() checks the xattr block header before the
block reaches higher-level xattr users, but it does not verify that a
non-indexed block's xh_count and entry offsets fit inside the block.
Indexed buckets likewise reach list/get consumers after ECC without an
entry-bounds check.
Use the flat xattr entry validator for non-indexed external xattr blocks,
and use a bucket-specific validator for indexed buckets at metadata read
time. The bucket validator keeps the entry array bounded by the first
bucket block while checking name/value offsets against the bucket block
they target.
Reject corrupted external xattr metadata before listxattr() or getxattr()
can walk out-of-range entry arrays or name/value offsets.
Validation reproduced this kernel report:
