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, nfs4listxattr() does not return an error because either genericlistxattr() or nfs4listxattrnfs4label() consumes exactly all the bytes then size is 0 when calling nfs4listxattrnfs4user() which then triggers the following kernel BUG:

Issue is reproduced when genericlistxattr() returns 'system.nfs4acl', 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.
