commit 8a2b307c21d4b290e3cbe33f768f194286d07c23 upstream.
Ext4 will always create ext4 extended attributes which do not have a value (where e_value_size is zero) with e_value_offs set to zero. In most places e_value_offs will not be used in a substantive way if e_value_size is zero.
There was one exception to this, which is in ext4_xattr_set_entry(), where if there is a maliciously crafted file system where there is an extended attribute with e_value_offs is non-zero and e_value_size is 0, the attempt to remove this xattr will result in a negative value getting passed to memmove, leading to the following sadness:
