    ocfs2: validate group add input before caching

    [BUG]
    OCFS2_IOC_GROUP_ADD can trigger a BUG_ON in
    ocfs2_set_new_buffer_uptodate():

    kernel BUG at fs/ocfs2/uptodate.c:509!

    RIP: 0033:0x7bbfb55a966d

    [CAUSE]
    ocfs2_group_add() calls ocfs2_set_new_buffer_uptodate() on a
    user-controlled group block before ocfs2_verify_group_and_input()
    validates that block number. That helper is only valid for newly
    allocated metadata and asserts that the block is not already present in
    the chosen metadata cache. The code also uses INODE_CACHE(inode) even
    though the group descriptor belongs to main_bm_inode and later journal
    accesses use that cache context instead.

    [FIX]
    Validate the on-disk group descriptor before caching it, then add it to
    the metadata cache tracked by INODE_CACHE(main_bm_inode). Keep the
    validation failure path separate from the later cleanup path so we only
    remove the buffer from that cache after it has actually been inserted.
    This keeps the group buffer lifetime consistent across validation,
    journaling, and cleanup.

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.");
