Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix log recovery buffer allocation for the legacy h_size fixup
Commit a70f9fe52daa ("xfs: detect and handle invalid iclog size set by
mkfs") added a fixup for incorrect h_size values used for the initial
umount record in old xfsprogs versions. Later commit 0c771b99d6c9
("xfs: clean up calculation of LR header blocks") cleaned up the log
reover buffer calculation, but stoped using the fixed up h_size value
to size the log recovery buffer, which can lead to an out of bounds
access when the incorrect h_size does not come from the old mkfs
tool, but a fuzzer.
Fix this by open coding xlog_logrec_hblks and taking the fixed h_size
into account for this calculation.
