No race or external timing condition is required.\nPR:L - A basic local unprivileged user with access to a writable OCFS2 file or directory can create `user.*` xattrs and invoke `listxattr`. Creating/mounting the filesystem may require administrator setup, but exploitation on an affected deployed system does not require real root.\nUI:N - Once the attacker has local access to the OCFS2 path, exploitation is performed directly with syscalls. No separate victim action is needed.\nS:U - The issue affects kernel filesystem handling within the same host security authority. It is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-scope boundary violation.\nC:H - The bug returns a length larger than the allocated kernel xattr-list buffer, causing `copy_to_user` to attempt an out-of-bounds kernel heap read. With hardened usercopy this aborts, but without it or under weaker checking this can expose kernel memory, so confidentiality is high.\nI:N - The flaw is an oversized read/copy length and does not write beyond bounds or corrupt kernel objects. It does not provide a direct integrity modification primitive.\nA:H - On hardened-usercopy kernels the overlong `copy_to_user` triggers `usercopy_abort()` and `BUG()`, producing a kernel oops/panic.
