Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the ocfs2_check_dir_entry(), ocfs2_search_dirblock(), __ocfs2_delete_entry(), __ocfs2_add_entry(), ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_id(), ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_el(), ocfs2_find_dir_space_id() and ocfs2_find_dir_space_el() functions in fs/ocfs2/dir.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
