Descriptions

In the Linux kernel 4.13 through 4.16.11, ext4_read_inline_data() in fs/ext4/inline.c performs a memcpy with an untrusted length value in certain circumstances involving a crafted filesystem that stores the system.data extended attribute value in a dedicated inode.

En el kernel de Linux de la versión 4.13 hasta la 4.16.11, ext4_read_inline_data() en fs/ext4/inline.c realiza un memcpy con un valor de longitud no fiable en ciertas circunstancias que implica un sistema de archivos manipulado que almacena el valor de atributo extendido system.data en un nodo dedicado.

The fs/ext4/inline.c:ext4_read_inline_data() function in the Linux kernel performs a memcpy with an untrusted length value in certain circumstances involving a crafted filesystem that stores the system.data extended attribute value in a dedicated inode. The unbound copy can cause memory corruption or possible privilege escalation.

Linux Kernel versions prior to 4.16.11 suffer from an ext4_read_inline_data() memory corruption vulnerability.
