Subject: xfs: underflow bug in xfs_attrlist_by_handle()
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 31978b5cc66b8ba8a7e8eef60b12395d41b7b890 upstream.
If we allocate less than sizeof(struct attrlist) then we end up
corrupting memory or doing a ZERO_PTR_SIZE dereference.
This can only be triggered with CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
