commit 7d95178c77014dbd8dce36ee40bbbc5e6c121ff5 upstream. Extended attribute names are defined to be NUL-terminated, so the name must not contain a NUL character. This is important because there are places when remove extended attribute, the code uses strlen to determine the length of the entry. That should probably be fixed at some point, but code is currently really messy, so the simplest fix for now is to simply validate that the extended attributes are sane. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200401 Reported-by: Wen Xu <wen.xu@gatech.edu> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
