Descriptions
The ext4_xattr_check_entries function in fs/ext4/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 does not properly validate xattr sizes, which causes misinterpretation of a size as an error code, and consequently allows attackers to cause a denial of service (get_acl NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image.
La función ext4_xattr_check_entries en fs/ext4/xattr.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.15.15 no valida correctamente los tamaños de xattr, lo que provoca una malinterpretación de un tamaño como un código de error y, en consecuencia, permite que los atacantes provoquen una denegación de servicio (desreferencia de puntero NULL en get_acl y cierre inesperado del sistema) mediante una imagen ext4 manipulada.
The Linux kernel is vulnerable to an out-of-bound access bug in the fs/posix_acl.c:get_acl() function. An attacker could trick a legitimate user or a privileged attacker could exploit this to cause a system crash or other unspecified impact with a crafted ext4 image. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
