Description
===========

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

ntfs: Fix panic about slab-out-of-bounds caused by ntfs_listxattr()

Here is a BUG report from syzbot:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ntfs_list_ea fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:191 [inline]
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ntfs_listxattr+0x401/0x570 fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:710
Read of size 1 at addr ffff888021acaf3d by task syz-executor128/3632

Call Trace:
 ntfs_list_ea fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:191 [inline]
 ntfs_listxattr+0x401/0x570 fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:710
 vfs_listxattr fs/xattr.c:457 [inline]
 listxattr+0x293/0x2d0 fs/xattr.c:804

Fix the logic of ea_all iteration. When the ea->name_len is 0,
return immediately, or Add2Ptr() would visit invalid memory
in the next loop.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
