Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: strict bound check before memcmp in ocfs2_xattr_find_entry() xattr in ocfs2 maybe 'non-indexed', which saved with additional space requested. It's better to check if the memory is out of bound before memcmp, although this possibility mainly comes from crafted poisonous images. A flaw was found in the ocfs2_xattr_find_entry() function in the Linux kernel's Oracle Cluster File System version 2 (OCFS2). This issue arose due to inadequate bounds checking before a memcmp operation, particularly when handling "non-indexed" extended attributes (xattrs) that might request additional space.
