CVE-2024-26870 is an input-size validation flaw in the Linux kernel NFSv4.2 extended-attribute listing path. nfs4_listxattr() failed to return ERANGE when invoked with a nonzero buffer whose size was smaller than the returned extended-attribute list size. If generic_listxattr() returns system.nfs4_acl, a listxattr() call using a buffer size of 16 can reach nfs4_listxattr_nfs4_user() with no remaining buffer space and trigger a kernel BUG in mm/usercopy.c.
