Subject[PATCH 3.18 08/54] ext2: fix potential use after free
Date
3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@163.com>

commit ecebf55d27a11538ea84aee0be643dd953f830d5 upstream.

The function ext2_xattr_set calls brelse(bh) to drop the reference count
of bh. After that, bh may be freed. However, following brelse(bh),
it reads bh->b_data via macro HDR(bh). This may result in a
use-after-free bug. This patch moves brelse(bh) after reading field.
