reiserfs: fix broken xattr handling (heap corruption, bad retval)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit a13f085 upstream.

This fixes the following issues:

- When a buffer size is supplied to reiserfs_listxattr() such that each
  individual name fits, but the concatenation of all names doesn't fit,
  reiserfs_listxattr() overflows the supplied buffer.  This leads to a
  kernel heap overflow (verified using KASAN) followed by an out-of-bounds
  usercopy and is therefore a security bug.

- When a buffer size is supplied to reiserfs_listxattr() such that a
  name doesn't fit, -ERANGE should be returned.  But reiserfs instead just
  truncates the list of names; I have verified that if the only xattr on a
  file has a longer name than the supplied buffer length, listxattr()
  incorrectly returns zero.

With my patch applied, -ERANGE is returned in both cases and the memory
corruption doesn't happen anymore.

Credit for making me clean this code up a bit goes to Al Viro, who pointed
out that the ->actor calling convention is suboptimal and should be
changed.
