Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: avoid OOB when system.data xattr changes underneath the filesystem When looking up for an entry in an inlined directory, if e_value_offs is changed underneath the filesystem by some change in the block device, it will lead to an out-of-bounds access that KASAN detects as an UAF. EXT4-fs (loop0): mounted filesystem 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 r/w without journal.
