Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.13%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: fix out-of-bounds write in ocfs2_write_end_inline KASAN reports a use-after-free write of 4086 bytes in ocfs2_write_end_inline, called from ocfs2_write_end_nolock during a copy_file_range splice fallback on a corrupted ocfs2 filesystem mounted on a loop device. The actual bug is an out-of-bounds write past the inode block buffer, not a true use-after-free. The write overflows into an adjacent freed page, which KASAN reports as UAF. The root cause is that ocfs2_try_to_write_inline_data trusts the on-disk id_count field to determine whether a write fits in inline data. On a corrupted filesystem, id_count can exceed the physical maximum inline data capacity, causing writes to overflow the inode block buffer. Call trace (crash path): vfs_copy_file_range (fs/read_write.c:1634) do_splice_direct splice_direct_to_actor iter_file_splice_write ocfs2_file_write_iter generic_perform_write ocfs2_write_end ocfs2_write_end_nolock (fs/ocfs2/aops.c:1949) ocfs2_write_end_inline (fs/ocfs2/aops.c:1915) memcpy_from_folio <-- KASAN: write OOB So add id_count upper bound check in ocfs2_validate_inode_block() to alongside the existing i_size check to fix it.
