Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix listxattr handling of corrupted xattr entries
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:31:05 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618200105.3551-1-iganschel@gmail.com> (raw)
Validate the xattr entry before reading its fields in f2fs_listxattr().
Return -EFSCORRUPTED when the entry is outside the valid xattr storage
area instead of returning a successful partial result.
