Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
xfs: fix a UAF problem in xattr repair<br />
<br />
The xchk_setup_xattr_buf function can allocate a new value buffer, which<br />
means that any reference to ab->value before the call could become a<br />
dangling pointer. Fix this by moving an assignment to after the buffer<br />
setup.
