If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Pan Bian commit ecebf55d27a11538ea84aee0be643dd953f830d5 upstream. The function ext2_xattr_set calls brelse(bh) to drop the reference count of bh. After that, bh may be freed. However, following brelse(bh), it reads bh->b_data via macro HDR(bh). This may result in a use-after-free bug. This patch moves brelse(bh) after reading field.
