From: Theodore Ts'o tytso@mit.edu Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2018 00:23:11 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: add corruption check in ext4_xattr_set_entry()
In theory this should have been caught earlier when the xattr list was verified, but in case it got missed, it's simple enough to add check to make sure we don't overrun the xattr buffer.
This addresses CVE-2018-10879.
