In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: avoid OOB when system.data xattr changes underneath the filesystem

When looking up for an entry in an inlined directory, if e_value_offs is changed underneath the filesystem by some change in the block device, it will lead to an out-of-bounds access that KASAN detects as an UAF.

EXT4-fs (loop0): mounted filesystem 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 r/w without journal. Quota mode: none. loop0: detected capacity change from 2048 to 2047

Calling ext4_xattr_ibody_find right after reading the inode with ext4_get_inode_loc will lead to a check of the validity of the xattrs, avoiding this problem.
