Subject: CVE-2024-40902: jfs: xattr: fix buffer overflow for invalid xattr

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

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

jfs: xattr: fix buffer overflow for invalid xattr

When an xattr size is not what is expected, it is printed out to the
kernel log in hex format as a form of debugging.  But when that xattr
size is bigger than the expected size, printing it out can cause an
access off the end of the buffer.

Fix this all up by properly restricting the size of the debug hex dump
in the kernel log.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-40902 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:
