What the advisory describes

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: validate external xattr entries when reading metadata ocfs2_validate_xattr_block() checks the xattr block header before the block reaches higher-level xattr users, but it does not verify that a non-indexed block's xh_count and entry offsets fit inside the block. Indexed buckets likewise reach list/get consumers after ECC without an entry-bounds check. Use the flat xattr entry validator for non-indexed external xattr blocks, and use a bucket-specific validator for indexed buckets at metadata read time. The bucket validator keeps the entry array bounded by the first bucket block while checking name/value offsets against the bucket block they target. Reject corrupted external xattr metadata before listxattr() or getxattr() can walk out-of-range entry arrays or name/value offsets.
