Subject: [08/11] jfs: dont allow os2 xattr namespace overlap with others
Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 16:45:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100811234625.632304508@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100811234809.GA676@kroah.com>

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit aca0fa34bdaba39bfddddba8ca70dba4782e8fe6 upstream.

It's currently possible to bypass xattr namespace access rules by
prefixing valid xattr names with "os2.", since the os2 namespace stores
extended attributes in a legacy format with no prefix.

This patch adds checking to deny access to any valid namespace prefix
following "os2.".
