Subject: [PATCH] ext4: wipe moved dirents with their real length
Date: Thu,  1 Oct 2026 21:41:27 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002004127.1332310-1-adrianox@gmail.com> (raw)

After copying a dirent to the new block, dx_move_dirents() wipes the
source entry using the on-disk rec_len.  Use the length already
computed for the copy instead because the on-disk rec_len is untrusted
and a corrupt value makes the memset() run out of bounds.

Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=09bec78ee77613a3efdd
