Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xfs: fix log recovery buffer allocation for the legacy h_size fixup

Commit a70f9fe52daa ("xfs: detect and handle invalid iclog size set by
mkfs") added a fixup for incorrect h_size values used for the initial
umount record in old xfsprogs versions. Later commit 0c771b99d6c9
("xfs: clean up calculation of LR header blocks") cleaned up the log
reover buffer calculation, but stoped using the fixed up h_size value
to size the log recovery buffer, which can lead to an out of bounds
access when the incorrect h_size does not come from the old mkfs
tool, but a fuzzer.

Fix this by open coding xlog_logrec_hblks and taking the fixed h_size
into account for this calculation.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: xfs: corrige la asignación del búfer de recuperación de registros para la corrección heredada de h_size. El commit a70f9fe52daa ("xfs: detecta y maneja el tamaño de iclog no válido establecido por mkfs") agregó una corrección para los valores incorrectos de h_size usados para el registro desmontaje inicial en versiones antiguas de xfsprogs. Posteriormente, el commit 0c771b99d6c9 ("xfs: cálculo de limpieza de bloques de encabezado LR") limpió el cálculo del búfer de recuperación de registros, pero dejó de usar el valor h_size fijo para dimensionar el búfer de recuperación de registros, lo que puede provocar un acceso fuera de los límites cuando el h_size incorrecto no proviene de la antigua herramienta mkfs, sino de un fuzzer. Solucione este problema abriendo la codificación xlog_logrec_hblks y teniendo en cuenta el h_size fijo para este cálculo.
