From 69c5349b47ac0b43e50178c3a72f0521d28ee748 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2021 19:35:40 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix race writing to an inline_data file while its xattrs are changing mainline inclusion from mainline-5.14 commit 9e445093e523f3277081314c864f708fd4bd34aa category: bugfix bugzilla: 180850 CVE: CVE-2021-40490 ------------------------------------------------- The location of the system.data extended attribute can change whenever xattr_sem is not taken. So we need to recalculate the i_inline_off field since it mgiht have changed between ext4_write_begin() and ext4_write_end(). This means that caching i_inline_off is probably not helpful, so in the long run we should probably get rid of it and shrink the in-memory ext4 inode slightly, but let's fix the race the simple way for now.
