Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
xfs: remove xfs_attr_leaf_hasname<br />
<br />
The calling convention of xfs_attr_leaf_hasname() is problematic, because<br />
it returns a NULL buffer when xfs_attr3_leaf_read fails, a valid buffer<br />
when xfs_attr3_leaf_lookup_int returns -ENOATTR or -EEXIST, and a<br />
non-NULL buffer pointer for an already released buffer when<br />
xfs_attr3_leaf_lookup_int fails with other error values.<br />
<br />
Fix this by simply open coding xfs_attr_leaf_hasname in the callers, so<br />
that the buffer release code is done by each caller of<br />
xfs_attr3_leaf_read.
