Subject: CVE-2022-48631: ext4: fix bug in extents parsing when eh_entries == 0 and eh_depth > 0

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: fix bug in extents parsing when eh_entries == 0 and eh_depth > 0

When walking through an inode extents, the ext4_ext_binsearch_idx() function
assumes that the extent header has been previously validated.  However, there
are no checks that verify that the number of entries (eh->eh_entries) is
non-zero when depth is > 0.  And this will lead to problems because the
EXT_FIRST_INDEX() and EXT_LAST_INDEX() will return garbage and result in this:

This patch simply adds an extra check in __ext4_ext_check(), verifying that
eh_entries is not 0 when eh_depth is > 0.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-48631 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
