    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ocfs2: validate orphan slot during inode read

    Patch series ocfs2: validate active orphan slots during inode read.

    OCFS2 trusts active ordinary and append-DIO orphan slots read from dinodes.
    A corrupted slot can therefore index osb_orphan_wipes or the slot-local
    system-inode cache outside their allocations before the corruption is
    reported.

    Patch 1 validates the ordinary orphan slot used by inode wipe processing.
    Patch 2 validates the append-DIO orphan slot used by DIO completion and
    orphan recovery.  Both checks reject corrupt metadata at the existing inode
    validation boundary.


    This patch (of 2):

    [BUG]
    A corrupted dinode with OCFS2_ORPHANED_FL can carry an
    i_orphaned_slot outside the mounted filesystem slot range.
    ocfs2_wipe_inode() uses it to index osb_orphan_wipes before looking
    up the orphan directory, causing an out-of-bounds memory access.

    BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ocfs2_get_system_file_inode+0x780/0x820 fs/ocfs2/sysfile.c:102
    Read of size 8 at addr ffff88800b767c00 by task kworker/u8:3/85
    Call Trace:

     ocfs2_complete_recovery+0x5af/0xd00 fs/ocfs2/journal.c:1373
     ...

    [CAUSE]
    ocfs2_validate_inode_block() validates i_suballoc_slot but leaves
    the active ordinary orphan slot unchecked. Downstream consumers
    assume that the value is smaller than osb->max_slots.

    [FIX]
    Reject an active i_orphaned_slot outside the slot range during
    dinode validation, before the inode reaches orphan wipe processing.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
