Subject: [PATCH] ext2: fix potential use after free
Date:   Sun, 25 Nov 2018 08:58:02 +0800
Message-Id: <1543107482-97334-1-git-send-email-bianpan2016@163.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The function ext2_xattr_set calls brelse(bh) to drop the reference count
of bh. After that, bh may be freed. However, following brelse(bh),
it reads bh->b_data via macro HDR(bh). This may result in a
use-after-free bug. This patch moves brelse(bh) after reading field.
