ocfs2: validate inline xattr size and entry count in ocfs2_xattr_ibody_list
Add comprehensive validation of inline xattr metadata in
ocfs2_xattr_ibody_list() to prevent out-of-bounds access and
use-after-free bugs when processing corrupted inline xattrs.
The patch adds two critical validations:
1. Validates i_xattr_inline_size before use:
- Ensures it does not exceed block size
- Ensures it is at least large enough for xattr header
- Prevents pointer arithmetic with corrupted size values that could
point outside the inode block
2. Validates xattr entry count (xh_count):
- Calculates maximum entries that can fit in the inline space
- Rejects counts that exceed this limit
- Prevents out-of-bounds array access in subsequent code
Without these checks, a corrupted filesystem with invalid inline xattr
metadata can cause the code to access memory beyond the allocated space.
For example:
- A corrupted i_xattr_inline_size of 0 would cause header pointer
calculation to point past the end of the block
- A corrupted xh_count of 22 with inline_size of 256 would cause
array access 7 entries beyond the 15 that actually fit (the syzbot
reproducer used xh_count of 20041), leading to use-after-free when
accessing freed memory pages
The validation uses the correct inline_size (from di->i_xattr_inline_size)
rather than block size, ensuring accurate bounds checking for inline
xattrs specifically.
