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

ext4: fix slab-out-of-bounds in ext4_mb_find_good_group_avg_frag_lists()

We can trigger a slab-out-of-bounds with the following commands:

    mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/$disk 10G
    mount /dev/$disk /tmp/test
    echo 2147483647 > /sys/fs/ext4/$disk/mb_group_prealloc
    echo test > /tmp/test/file && sync

==================================================================

The flow of issue triggering is as follows:

// Set s_mb_group_prealloc to 2147483647 via sysfs
ext4_mb_new_blocks
  ext4_mb_normalize_request
    ext4_mb_normalize_group_request
      ac->ac_g_ex.fe_len = EXT4_SB(sb)->s_mb_group_prealloc
  ext4_mb_regular_allocator
    ext4_mb_choose_next_group
      ext4_mb_choose_next_group_best_avail
        mb_avg_fragment_size_order
          order = fls(len) - 2 = 29
        ext4_mb_find_good_group_avg_frag_lists
          frag_list = &sbi->s_mb_avg_fragment_size[order]
          if (list_empty(frag_list)) // Trigger SOOB!

At 4k block size, the length of the s_mb_avg_fragment_size list is 14,
but an oversized s_mb_group_prealloc is set, causing slab-out-of-bounds
to be triggered by an attempt to access an element at index 29.

Add a new attr_id attr_clusters_in_group with values in the range
[0, sbi->s_clusters_per_group] and declare mb_group_prealloc as
that type to fix the issue. In addition avoid returning an order
from mb_avg_fragment_size_order() greater than MB_NUM_ORDERS(sb)
and reduce some useless loops.
