The advisory
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: validate DIO orphan slot during inode read
[BUG]
A corrupted append-DIO dinode (high byte at offset 0xa1
corrupted from 0 to 1) can carry an i_dio_orphaned_slot
outside the mounted filesystem slot range and trigger a
use-after-free error:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ocfs2_get_system_file_inode+0x780/0x820 fs/ocfs2/sysfile.c:102
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88800b767c00 by task kworker/u8:3/85

...
[CAUSE]
ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan() uses i_dio_orphaned_slot to index the
slot-local system inode cache. The dinode validator does not check
this active slot, so an out-of-range value produces an invalid cache
entry pointer that is dereferenced as an inode pointer.
[FIX]
Reject an active i_dio_orphaned_slot outside the slot range during
dinode validation, before DIO orphan recovery can consume it.
