kernel: use-after-free in __ext4_expand_extra_isize and ext4_xattr_set_entry related to fs/ext4/inode.c and fs/ext4/super.c

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s ext4 file system functionality when the user mount ext4 partition, with the usage of an additional debug parameter is defining an extra inode size. If this parameter has a non zero value, this flaw allows a local user to crash the system when...

Out-of-bounds

A memory out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.9-rc2 with the ext3/ext4 file system, in the way it accesses a directory with broken indexing. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system if the directory exists. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system...
