[PATCH v2 11/11] ext4: access to uninitialized bh fields in ext4_xattr_set_handle()

From: Vasily Averin
Date: Tue Oct 30 2018 - 17:58:58 EST


On-stack initialization does not guarantee zeroying of unintialized
fields. So is.iloc.bh and bs.bh can be contain garbage of old stack
conent.

Errors in the beginning of ext4_xattr_set_handle() function
lead to jump to "cleanup:" label where brelse(is.iloc.bh)
and brelse(bs.bh) can access uninitialized bh fields of
on-stack located "is" and "bs" structures.

Issue was inherited from ext3 and was present in first ext4 commit.

Fixes ac27a0ec112a ("ext4: initial copy of files from ext3") # 2.6.19
