Subject: [PATCH] udf: validate the device specification EA before using it

udf_get_extendedattr() bounds an extended attribute only against
struct genericFormat, which is 12 bytes.  A type-12 device
specification is struct deviceSpec, which is 24 bytes plus a flexible
impUse array. Thus a corrupted filesystem can contain extended attribute
that is accepted by udf_get_extendedattr() but udf_write_inode() or
udf_read_inode() may access beyond the end of provided buffer.

Provide a udf_device_spec_valid() check to validate correctness of
extended attribute that is a deviceSpec. While here, check the result of
udf_add_extendedattr() before dereferencing it as it can return NULL in
case of error.

[PATCH 6.18.y] udf: validate the device specification EA before using it

[Sasha Levin]

From: Yunpeng Tian <shionthanatos@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 9a2390959685ac35a58c80c8016120849a2babf6 ]

udf_get_extendedattr() bounds an extended attribute only against
struct genericFormat, which is 12 bytes.  A type-12 device
specification is struct deviceSpec, which is 24 bytes plus a flexible
impUse array. Thus a corrupted filesystem can contain extended attribute
that is accepted by udf_get_extendedattr() but udf_write_inode() or
udf_read_inode() may access beyond the end of provided buffer.

Provide a udf_device_spec_valid() check to validate correctness of
extended attribute that is a deviceSpec. While here, check the result of
udf_add_extendedattr() before dereferencing it as it can return NULL in
case of error.
