The patch titled Subject: reiserfs: fix broken xattr handling (heap corruption, bad retval) has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was reiserfs-fix-broken-xattr-handling-heap-corruption-bad-retval.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Jann Horn jannh@google.com Subject: reiserfs: fix broken xattr handling (heap corruption, bad retval)
This fixes the following issues:
- When a buffer size is supplied to reiserfs_listxattr() such that each individual name fits, but the concatenation of all names doesn't fit, reiserfs_listxattr() overflows the supplied buffer. This leads to a kernel heap overflow (verified using KASAN) followed by an out-of-bounds usercopy and is therefore a security bug.
- When a buffer size is supplied to reiserfs_listxattr() such that a name doesn't fit, -ERANGE should be returned. But reiserfs instead just truncates the list of names; I have verified that if the only xattr on a file has a longer name than the supplied buffer length, listxattr() incorrectly returns zero.
With my patch applied, -ERANGE is returned in both cases and the memory corruption doesn't happen anymore.
Credit for making me clean this code up a bit goes to Al Viro, who pointed out that the ->actor calling convention is suboptimal and should be changed.
