Title
ocfs2: strict bound check before memcmp in ocfs2_xattr_find_entry()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: strict bound check before memcmp in ocfs2_xattr_find_entry() xattr in ocfs2 maybe 'non-indexed', which saved with additional space requested. It's better to check if the memory is out of bound before memcmp, although this possibility mainly comes from crafted poisonous images.

              "value": "AV:L - Reaching `ocfs2_xattr_find_entry()` requires a crafted OCFS2 image to be present locally (loop-mounted file or attached block device/USB stick) and then touched via `getxattr()`/`setxattr()` or an automatic security-label lookup; there is no remote protocol path into the ocfs2 xattr code.\nAC:L - The attacker authors the on-disk metadata, and `xe_name_offset` is an unvalidated `__le16`, so the read at `xs-\u003ebase + name_offset` (up to 65535 bytes past a 512\u20134096 byte block buffer) fires deterministically on the first `getxattr()` with a matching type/name-length; no race, no memory-layout luck, and no non-default kernel config is involved, and for offsets inside the same page the \"out-of-bounds\" bytes are other blocks of the attacker\u0027s own image, making the `memcmp()` match reliably.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user can supply the poisoned image (a file for loop-mount or removable media handled by udisks2/systemd automount) and then trigger the path with ordinary unprivileged `getxattr()`/`setxattr()` calls on the crafted file; no capability of the attacker\u0027s own is needed.\nUI:N - On the common desktop/kiosk/embedded deployment the attacker-supplied device is mounted automatically by the automount daemon, and the attacking process itself then issues the `getxattr()`/`setxattr()` that hits the unchecked `memcmp()` \u2014 no deliberate action by another user is required.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and the resulting out-of-bounds write stay inside the kernel\u0027s own memory and security authority; no VM, IOMMU, container, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Once the unchecked `memcmp()` matches out-of-bounds bytes, `ocfs2_xattr_ibody_get()`/`ocfs2_xattr_block_get()` `memcpy()` from `xs-\u003ebase + xe_name_offset + name_len` for `xe_value_size` bytes (attacker-chosen, up to XATTR_SIZE_MAX) straight into the caller\u0027s userspace buffer, disclosing kernel memory beyond the buffer_head; the match/no-match result also forms a byte-granular oracle over ~64 KiB past the buffer.\nI:H - The same missing check on the setxattr path (`ocfs2_xattr_ibody_find()`/`ocfs2_xattr_block_find()`) lets a bogus `xe_name_offset` propagate into `ocfs2_xa_set()`, where `ocfs2_xa_reuse_entry()`/`ocfs2_xa_store_value()` `memset()`/`memcpy()` attacker-supplied value bytes at `base + name_offset`, and `ocfs2_xa_block_wipe_namevalue()` `memmove()`s with that offset \u2014 an out-of-bounds heap write with controlled content suitable for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The read (and the subsequent write/memmove) can land up to ~65790 bytes past a 512\u20134096 byte block buffer, readily touching unmapped or unrelated memory and producing a kernel oops/page fault (immediate KASAN slab-out-of-bounds), and corrupting neighbouring kernel data crashes the system; the trigger is repeatable on demand."
