Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
NFSv4.2: fix nfs4_listxattr kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:102<br />
<br />
A call to listxattr() with a buffer size = 0 returns the actual<br />
size of the buffer needed for a subsequent call. When size > 0,<br />
nfs4_listxattr() does not return an error because either<br />
generic_listxattr() or nfs4_listxattr_nfs4_label() consumes<br />
exactly all the bytes then size is 0 when calling<br />
nfs4_listxattr_nfs4_user() which then triggers the following<br />

<br />
Issue is reproduced when generic_listxattr() returns &#39;system.nfs4_acl&#39;,<br />
thus calling lisxattr() with size = 16 will trigger the bug.<br />
<br />
Add check on nfs4_listxattr() to return ERANGE error when it is<br />
called with size > 0 and the return value is greater than size.
