What is the problem

A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.

Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.

Severity

Severity: High (CVSS 7.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.

Original description The description as published by the source.

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

f2fs: validate ACL entry sizes in f2fs_acl_from_disk()

f2fs_acl_count() only validates the aggregate ACL xattr length. A
malformed ACL can still place ACL_USER or ACL_GROUP in a slot that only
contains struct f2fs_acl_entry_short bytes, and f2fs_acl_from_disk()
then reads entry->e_id before verifying that a full entry fits.

Require a short entry before reading e_tag and e_perm, and require a
full entry before reading e_id for ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP. Return
-EFSCORRUPTED from these new truncated-entry checks, while keeping the
pre-existing -EINVAL paths unchanged.
