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

NFSv4.2: fix nfs4_listxattr kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:102

A call to listxattr() with a buffer size = 0 returns the actual
size of the buffer needed for a subsequent call. When size > 0,
nfs4_listxattr() does not return an error because either
generic_listxattr() or nfs4_listxattr_nfs4_label() consumes
exactly all the bytes then size is 0 when calling
nfs4_listxattr_nfs4_user() which then triggers the following
kernel BUG:

Issue is reproduced when generic_listxattr() returns 'system.nfs4_acl',
thus calling lisxattr() with size = 16 will trigger the bug.

Add check on nfs4_listxattr() to return ERANGE error when it is
called with size > 0 and the return value is greater than size.
