If the inline names fill the caller buffer exactly,\nthe block-xattr pass runs with a non-NULL buffer and a remaining size of\nzero. ocfs2_xattr_list_entry() then skips the bounds check, keeps\ncounting block names, and returns a positive size larger than the\nsupplied buffer.\n\n[FIX]\nDetect probe mode by testing whether the destination buffer pointer is\nNULL instead of whether the remaining size is zero.\n\nThat restores the pre-refactor behavior and matches the OCFS2 getxattr\nhelpers. Once the remaining buffer reaches zero while more names are\nleft, the block-xattr pass now returns -ERANGE instead of reporting a\nsize larger than the allocated list buffer.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","score":7.1},"cwes":["CWE-787"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2323084c17370304f49c84b354fe7b3edbb264fe","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2685df8577a38d83b367c8cf52eda9dc286959ff","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/46e66fefb83811958127bc9ad736983ec629d82b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/50033ec1350fe68abdc63b950ced7ae57364b77a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6f702b00b8124c5d3525f19172934544826a114d"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:41:17.107060303+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53041","score":0.00126,"percentile":0.02247,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
