Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: fix exchmaps reservation limit check xfs_exchmaps_estimate_overhead() adds the bmbt and rmapbt overhead to a local resblks variable, but the final UINT_MAX check still tests req->resblks. That is the reservation value from before the overhead was added.
The computed value is stored back in req->resblks and later passed to xfs_trans_alloc(), whose block reservation argument is unsigned int. Check the computed reservation so the existing limit applies to the value that will be used.
