| Description |
| In the ea_get function in fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through
4.17.1, a memory corruption bug in JFS can be triggered by calling
setxattr twice with two different extended attribute names on the same
file. This vulnerability can be triggered by an unprivileged user with
the ability to create files and execute programs. A kmalloc call is
incorrect, leading to slab-out-of-bounds in jfs_xattr.
