+Subject: ima: fix out-of-bounds read in xattr_verify()
+
+From: Lincoln Wallace <locnnil0@gmail.com>
+
+commit 5ff232d31106f45ac87c3b64e1d35a0667777797 upstream.
+
+The digest-length check in xattr_verify() mixes int and size_t:
+
+ if (xattr_len - sizeof(xattr_value->type) - hash_start >=
+ iint->ima_hash->length)
+
+sizeof() yields size_t, so the usual arithmetic conversions promote
+the whole left-hand side to unsigned 64-bit before the subtraction
+runs. For a truncated xattr this underflows instead of going negative:
+a 1-byte IMA_XATTR_DIGEST_NG xattr (xattr_len == 1, hash_start == 1)
+turns "1 - 1 - 1" into SIZE_MAX, which is trivially >= ima_hash->length.
+The check then passes and the following memcmp() reads
+iint->ima_hash->length bytes starting past the end of the buffer
+vfs_getxattr_alloc() allocated for it.
+
+Nothing upstream clamps xattr_len back into a safe range first:
+ima_get_hash_algo() only special-cases xattr_len < 2 to pick a default
+algorithm, and evm_verifyxattr() returns INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN rather than
+failing when no HMAC key is loaded, so a truncated security.ima value
+reaches the length check as-is.
+
+Rewrite the comparison so every operand stays a signed int and no
+implicit conversion to size_t can occur.
+
