commit c186f0887fe7061a35cebef024550ec33ef8fbd8 upstream.

We got issue as follows:
EXT4-fs (loop0): mounted filesystem without journal. Opts: ,errors=continue

ext4_search_dir:
...
de = (struct ext4_dir_entry_2 *)search_buf;
dlimit = search_buf + buf_size;
while ((char *) de < dlimit) {
...
if ((char *) de + de->name_len <= dlimit &&
ext4_match(dir, fname, de)) {
...
}
...
de_len = ext4_rec_len_from_disk(de->rec_len, dir->i_sb->s_blocksize);
if (de_len <= 0)
return -1;
offset += de_len;
de = (struct ext4_dir_entry_2 *) ((char *) de + de_len);
}

Assume:
de=0xffff8881317c2fff
dlimit=0x0xffff8881317c3000

If read 'de->name_len' which address is 0xffff8881317c3005, obviously is
out of range, then will trigger use-after-free.
To solve this issue, 'dlimit' must reserve 8 bytes, as we will read
'de->name_len' to judge if '(char *) de + de->name_len' out of range.
