Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ext4: add bounds checking in get_max_inline_xattr_value_size()<br /> <br /> Normally the extended attributes in the inode body would have been<br /> checked when the inode is first opened, but if someone is writing to<br /> the block device while the file system is mounted, it&amp;#39;s possible for<br /> the inode table to get corrupted. Add bounds checking to avoid<br /> reading beyond the end of allocated memory if this happens.
