Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
xfs: fix log recovery buffer allocation for the legacy h_size fixup<br />
<br />
Commit a70f9fe52daa ("xfs: detect and handle invalid iclog size set by<br />
mkfs") added a fixup for incorrect h_size values used for the initial<br />
umount record in old xfsprogs versions. Later commit 0c771b99d6c9<br />
("xfs: clean up calculation of LR header blocks") cleaned up the log<br />
reover buffer calculation, but stoped using the fixed up h_size value<br />
to size the log recovery buffer, which can lead to an out of bounds<br />
access when the incorrect h_size does not come from the old mkfs<br />
tool, but a fuzzer.<br />
<br />
Fix this by open coding xlog_logrec_hblks and taking the fixed h_size<br />
into account for this calculation.
