Linux ext4: out-of-bounds memcpy via non-inline system.data xattr(CVE-2018-11412)

ext4 can store data for small regular files as "inline data", meaning that the data is stored inside the corresponding inode instead of in separate blocks. Inline data is stored in two places: The first 60 bytes go in the iblock field in the inode which normally contains a list of blocks instead,...
