Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] xfs: fix buffer overruns in xfs_ioc_attr_list
Date: Thu,  5 Nov 2026 08:45:19 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105134352.1395474-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110440-penalize-refocus-9272@gregkh>

From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 0b9081a774ee7b9dff1e9ac3765b73c1d6bba5b2 ]

When we converted the al_offset array in struct xfs_attrlist into a VLA,
the size of the object shrank by 4 bytes.  Unfortunately, the buffer
size validation in the attrlist ioctl wasn't updated to notice this, so
the al_offset[0] assignment blindly writes off the end of the buffer.
LOLLM noticed the omitted check and complained.

Fixes: 371baf5c9750a2 ("xfs: convert flex-array declarations in struct xfs_attrlist*")

[ sashal: Applied the unchanged fix at the existing xfs_ioc_attr_list() location because the upstream file split is absent. ]
