Subject: [PATCH 7.3.y 2/2] xfs: check for buffer overruns when examining local/remote xattr entries
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 10:47:29 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105154712.2073712-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105154712.2073712-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 91c41f9524906a8ebd2ae68c98a07b4bd5255ddb ]
LOLLM noticed that the xattr scrub and repair code can walk off the end
of the buffer if the xattr entry record starts so close to the end of
the buffer that there's not even space for the entry structure itself.
Strengthen the bounds checking here.
