[PATCH v2] e2fsck: do not read EA header beyond the end of an inode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In check_inode_extra_space(), if we attempt to read an EA header at
the end of the extra space, in a corrupted filesystem it may result in
a read beyond the bounds of the inode. Add a check to prevent this.

Reproduced by running ./test_one --valgrind f_write_ea_toobig_extra_isize.

A quick fix to v1 which wrongly uses spaces instead of tabs.
