Description
The Linux kernel before 5.4.2 mishandles ext4_expand_extra_isize, as demonstrated by use-after-free errors in __ext4_expand_extra_isize and ext4_xattr_set_entry, related to fs/ext4/inode.c and fs/ext4/super.c, aka CID-4ea99936a163.
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 inode expansion happens.
