Above issue happens as follows:
ext4_iget
ext4_find_inline_data_nolock ->i_inline_off=164 i_inline_size=60
ext4_try_add_inline_entry
__ext4_mark_inode_dirty
ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea ->i_extra_isize=32 s_want_extra_isize=44
ext4_xattr_shift_entries
->after shift i_inline_off is incorrect, actually is change to 176
ext4_try_add_inline_entry
ext4_update_inline_dir
get_max_inline_xattr_value_size
if (EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_off)
entry = (struct ext4_xattr_entry *)((void *)raw_inode +
EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_off);
free += EXT4_XATTR_SIZE(le32_to_cpu(entry->e_value_size));
->As entry is incorrect, then 'free' may be negative
ext4_update_inline_data
value = kzalloc(len, GFP_NOFS);
-> len is unsigned int, maybe very large, then trigger warning when
'kzalloc()'
To resolve the above issue we need to update 'i_inline_off' after
'ext4_xattr_shift_entries()'. We do not need to set
EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag here, since ext4_mark_inode_dirty()
already sets this flag if needed. Setting EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA
when it is needed may trigger a BUG_ON in ext4_writepages().
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
