    ext4: correctly handle a zero-length xattr with a non-zero e_value_offs · 8a2b307c
    Theodore Ts'o authored
    Ext4 will always create ext4 extended attributes which do not have a
    value (where e_value_size is zero) with e_value_offs set to zero.  In
    most places e_value_offs will not be used in a substantive way if
    e_value_size is zero.
    
    There was one exception to this, which is in ext4_xattr_set_entry(),
    where if there is a maliciously crafted file system where there is an
    extended attribute with e_value_offs is non-zero and e_value_size is
    0, the attempt to remove this xattr will result in a negative value
    getting passed to memmove, leading to the following sadness:
