[edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] Ext4Pkg: Improve extent node validation on the number of entries

[Pedro Falcato]

Improve the extent tree node validation by validating the number of
entries the node advertises against the theoretical max (derived from
the size of on-disk structs and the block size (or i_data, if inline
extents).

Previously, we did not validate the number of entries. This could be
exploited for out-of-bounds reads and crashes.

v2:
Accidentally based my previous patch on the wrong version of Extents.c, which accidentally undid some previous changes.
