Subject: [PATCH v2] f2fs: fix listxattr handling of corrupted xattr entries
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 20:44:21 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622151421.806-1-iganschel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618200105.3551-1-iganschel@gmail.com>

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.

Fixes: 688078e7f36c ("f2fs: fix to avoid memory leakage in f2fs_listxattr")
Cc: stable@kernel.org
Reviewed-by: Chao Yu <chao@kernel.org>
Signed-off-by: Keshav Verma <iganschel@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
- Add Fixes tag.
- Add Reviewed-by tag.
- Add Cc: stable@kernel.org tag.
