apparmor: fix unconfined user namespace restriction forced stack

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: fix unconfined user namespace restriction forced stack If a task is already confined by a stack the unprivileged transition restriction on unconfined is not correctly, applied. This results in an escape if two transitions through an unconfined profile can be executed. Fix this by pushing the check into the per profile label build. The check will always be done against unconfined and result in a stack of just the unconfined component when necessary.

nvmet: fix heap out-of-bounds read in nvmet_auth_negotiate()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet: fix heap out-of-bounds read in nvmet_auth_negotiate() nvmet_execute_auth_send() allocates the DH-HMAC-CHAP message buffer with the host-supplied transfer length (tl) and hands it to nvmet_auth_negotiate() without passing tl along. nvmet_auth_negotiate() then reads the negotiate header and, for each of the halen hash identifiers and dhlen DH group identifiers, indexes into the fixed idlist[60] array (hashes at idlist[0..halen), groups at idlist[30..]). Neither the transfer length nor halen/dhlen is validated. A malicious or non-conformant host can report a tl smaller than the negotiate structure, or a halen/dhlen larger than the array (both are u8, up to 255), making the loops read past the end of the allocated buffer (heap out-of-bounds read). The sibling nvmet_auth_reply() already validates tl against the structure size; the negotiate path did not. Pass tl into nvmet_auth_negotiate(), reject a tl that does not cover the negotiate data plus one full protocol descriptor, and reject halen/dhlen larger than NVME_AUTH_DHCHAP_MAX_DH_IDS.

nvme-apple: Destroy the admin queue on removal

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-apple: Destroy the admin queue on removal The admin queue is allocated with blk_mq_alloc_queue() but never destroyed. nvme_free_ctrl() only drops the last reference and blk_mq_exit_queue() and blk_sync_queue() never run: the hctx is never moved to q->unused_hctx_list and the timeout timer and work stay armed on a queue that is about to be freed which will eventually oops inside blk_mq_timeout_work(). This can only be triggered when the controller fails to come up and is then immediately torn down again which is why no one ever ran into this before. Let's just copy what the pcie driver does: unquiesce and destroy the admin queue before nvme_uninit_ctrl(). With this the following WARN followed by a panic no longer happens: WARNING: block/blk-mq.c:4390 at blk_mq_release+0x194/0x238, CPU#4: kworker/u34:4/119 CPU: 4 UID: 0 PID: 119 Comm: kworker/u34:4 Not tainted 7.2.0-rc1-dirty #248 PREEMPT Hardware name: Apple Mac mini (M1, 2020) (DT) Workqueue: nvme-wq apple_nvme_remove_dead_ctrl_work pstate: 61400005 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO +DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : blk_mq_release+0x194/0x238 lr : blk_mq_release+0x58/0x238 sp : ffffc000833a3b50 x29: ffffc000833a3b50 x28: ffff80001d0450f8 x27: ffff800020c95200 x26: 0000000000000088 x25: 0000000000000000 x24: ffff800020f36805 x23: 0000000000000000 x22: ffffc00081a86878 x21: ffff800020be9c60 x20: 0000000000000000 x19: ffff800022501698 x18: 000000000000000a x17: 7365757165722066 x16: 666f7265776f7020 x15: 0000000000000000 x14: 0000000000000028 x13: 0000000000004def x12: 0000000000000003 x11: 0000000000000000 x10: 0000000000000000 x9 : ffffc000805b4fc8 x8 : ffffc00081915820 x7 : ffffc00081c4f3c8 x6 : 0000000000000001 x5 : 0000000000000004 x4 : ffff800022498d80 x3 : ffffc000833a3b14 x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : ffff800022501698 Call trace: blk_mq_release+0x194/0x238 (P) blk_put_queue+0x8c/0xf0 nvme_free_ctrl+0x4c/0x260 device_release+0x44/0x128 kobject_put+0xa0/0x120 put_device+0x1c/0x40 nvme_uninit_ctrl+0x48/0x60 apple_nvme_remove+0x54/0xb0 platform_remove+0x28/0x40 device_remove+0x54/0x98 device_release_driver_internal+ device_release_driver+0x20/0x38 apple_nvme_remove_dead_ctrl_wor process_one_work+0x1f4/0x770 worker_thread+0x1b8/0x360 kthread+0x140/0x160 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 irq event stamp: 448 hardirqs last enabled at (447):in_unlock_irqrestore+0x74/0x80 hardirqs last disabled at (448): [<ffffc000811cf5c0>] el1_brk64+0x20/0x60 softirqs last enabled at (0): [ess+0xb28/0x2698 softirqs last disabled at (0): [<0000000000000000>] 0x0 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x0000000096000005 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 FSC = 0x05: level 1 translation fault Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000005, ISS2 = 0x00000000 CM = 0, WnR = 0, TnD = 0, TagA GCS = 0, Overlay = 0, DirtyBit = 0, Xs = 0 [0000000000000000] user address Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000005 [#1] SMP CPU: 7 UID: 0 PID: 54 Comm: kwor 7.2.0-rc1-dirty #248PREEMPT Tainted: [W]=WARN Hardware name: Apple Mac mini (M1, 2020) (DT) Workqueue: kblockd blk_mq_timeou pstate: 01400005 (nzcv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO +DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : percpu_ref_tryget_many.cons lr : percpu_ref_tryget_many.constprop.0+0xc0/0x168 sp : ffffc000829cbce0 x29: ffffc000829cbce0 x28: ffff800020be9f48 x27: ffff800013e503c0 x26: 0000000000000108 x25: 000009c05 x23: 0000000000000000 x22: ffffc000819f5000 x21: ffff800020be9f48 x20: ffff8001deda4808 x19: ffff8000a x17: 00000000580e1fac x16: ffffc00082bbbb7c x15: 0000000000000000 x14: 0000000000000028 x13: 000000001 x11: 0000000000000000 x10: 0000000000000000 x9 : ffffc000829cbc20 x8 : ---truncated---

CVE-2026-90228 High · 7.5 Sep 17, 2026

nvmet: fix NULL pointer dereference in nvmet_execute_identify_ns_zns()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet: fix NULL pointer dereference in nvmet_execute_identify_ns_zns() When a host issues an Identify command with CNS 05h (I/O Command Set specific Identify Namespace) and CSI 02h (ZNS) targeting a file-backed namespace, nvmet_execute_identify_ns_zns() calls bdev_is_zoned() on req->ns->bdev. A file-backed namespace has no block device, so req->ns->bdev is NULL and bdev_is_zoned() dereferences it, oopsing. The I/O command set is selected by the host-supplied CSI field and the command is routed here whenever CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is enabled, independent of the namespace backing type, so any file-backed namespace is exposed. Reject the command with Invalid Field when the namespace is not backed by a block device.

CVE-2026-90227 High · 7.8 Sep 17, 2026

nvme/ioctl: check SUBMIT_IO with nvme_cmd_allowed()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme/ioctl: check SUBMIT_IO with nvme_cmd_allowed() Unlike IO_CMD / IO64_CMD, NVME_IOCTL_SUBMIT_IO never calls nvme_cmd_allowed(). Unprivileged callers can thus issue I/O on a partition device or write through a read-only file descriptor. Pass flags and open_for_write through and reject disallowed commands with -EACCES.

CVE-2026-90226 Unknown Sep 17, 2026

nfc: llcp: avoid userspace overflow on invalid optlen

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: llcp: avoid userspace overflow on invalid optlen nfc_llcp_getsockopt() casts optval to (u32 __user *) for put_user(), so the kernel always stores 4 bytes regardless of the caller-supplied optlen. The existing min_t(u32, len, sizeof(u32)) only clamps the length reported back to userspace; it does not constrain the store. A call with optlen < 4 therefore writes past the user buffer, violating the getsockopt(2) contract for all five supported optnames. Reject any call with optlen < sizeof(u32) up front. 'len' is int, so a plain size comparison would promote a negative optlen to size_t and slip past the check; an explicit 'len < 0' test is added first to catch negative values before the size compare.

CVE-2026-90225 High · 7.8 Sep 17, 2026

nfc: llcp: read llcp_sock->local under the socket lock in getsockopt

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: llcp: read llcp_sock->local under the socket lock in getsockopt nfc_llcp_getsockopt() read llcp_sock->local before lock_sock(sk) and then dereferenced the cached pointer inside the locked region. llcp_sock_bind() assigns and clears llcp_sock->local under the same socket lock, dropping the last reference on its error path. A getsockopt() racing an in-flight bind() can observe the pointer, block on lock_sock(), and then dereference a freed nfc_llcp_local once bind() has unwound. Move the llcp_sock->local read and the NULL check inside the lock_sock(sk) region so bind() cannot mutate or free the pointer between the load and the use.

CVE-2026-90224 High · 7.5 Sep 17, 2026

nfc: nci: fix double completion race in nci_data_exchange_complete

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: nci: fix double completion race in nci_data_exchange_complete nci_close_device() and nci_rx_work can both call nci_data_exchange_complete() concurrently. After commit 4527025d440ce8 ("nfc: nci: fix circular locking dependency in nci_close_device") moved flush_workqueue(ndev->rx_wq) after mutex_unlock(&ndev->req_lock), rx_work is no longer serialized with the explicit completion call in the close path. Both callers read the non-NULL callback pointer and invoke rawsock_data_exchange_complete(), which calls sock_put() -- but only one sock_hold() was taken, so the second sock_put() underflows the refcount and frees the socket while it is still in use. Replace the bare clear_bit(NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE) with test_and_clear_bit() so that only the first caller proceeds to invoke the callback.

CVE-2026-90223 High · 7.1 Sep 17, 2026

nfc: llcp: bound SNL TLV parsing to the skb and add length checks

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: llcp: bound SNL TLV parsing to the skb and add length checks nfc_llcp_recv_snl() walked the SNL TLV list using a u16 offset/length pair derived from skb->len, without bounding reads to the actual skb data. Three problems followed: - For a short frame (skb->len < LLCP_HEADER_SIZE), tlv_len underflowed. - The per-TLV header (type, length) was read without checking that two bytes remained. - A declared TLV length could run past the end of the buffer, and an SDREQ with length == 0 made "service_name_len = length - 1" underflow (size_t), driving an out-of-bounds read in the following strncmp() / nfc_llcp_sock_from_sn(). The SDRES case likewise read tlv[2]/tlv[3] without a length check. A nearby NFC device can reach this without authentication; LLCP link activation happens automatically after NFC-DEP. Walk the TLV list by pointer, bounded by skb_tail_pointer() over the linear skb data, and validate each TLV declared length before use. Add explicit length checks for SDREQ (>= 1) and SDRES (exactly 2). Found by 0sec automated security-research tooling (https://0sec.ai).

CVE-2026-90222 Unknown Sep 17, 2026

nfc: pn533: hold a reference to the request skb during send_frame

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: pn533: hold a reference to the request skb during send_frame __pn533_send_async() publishes the command and then calls dev->phy_ops->send_frame(). Once dev->cmd is set, an incoming frame can be matched to this command: the I2C threaded IRQ runs pn533_recv_frame(), which queues cmd_complete_work, and pn533_send_async_complete() frees cmd->req with consume_skb(). On the I2C transport, pn533_i2c_send_frame() still dereferences the same skb after i2c_master_send() returns, so a completion that races the send can free the skb while the transport is still using it. The request skb is owned by the command object and may be freed by command completion at any time after dev->cmd is published, so the transport send path must not assume it stays alive. Hold a temporary reference to the request skb across the send_frame() call so the transport always sees a live skb even if completion races the send. Add a pn533_send_cmd_frame() helper and use it from all three send paths.

CVE-2026-90221 Unknown Sep 17, 2026

nfc: nci: fix use of uninitialized memory in CORE_INIT_RSP parsing

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: nci: fix use of uninitialized memory in CORE_INIT_RSP parsing nci_core_init_rsp_packet_v1() and nci_core_init_rsp_packet_v2() parse the CORE_INIT_RSP packet without validating that the skb contains enough data. A malformed response (e.g. injected via virtual_ncidev) can declare a large num_supported_rf_interfaces while providing insufficient data, causing reads of uninitialized slab memory. This is later used in nci_init_complete_req(), triggering a KMSAN uninit-value warning. Add skb length checks before accessing packet fields: - Validate the skb has at least 1 byte for the status field. - Validate the skb can hold the fixed-size header before parsing. - In v2, bounds-check each variable-length rf_interface entry and its extension parameters within the parsing loop. - In v1, verify the skb is large enough for both the variable-length rf_interfaces array and the trailing rsp_2 structure.

CVE-2026-90220 Unknown Sep 17, 2026

ALSA: seq: Don't leak the extension cell pointer in the bounce payload

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: seq: Don't leak the extension cell pointer in the bounce payload The bounce_error_event() embeds the failed event in the bounce payload by pointing data.ext.ptr at it. When that event is a queued variable-length event, its own data.ext.ptr holds the address of its first extension cell, put there by snd_seq_event_dup(). The payload goes out verbatim through snd_seq_expand_var_event(), so the address reaches userspace. That is the same address commit 705dd6dcbc0e ("ALSA: seq: Clear variable event pointer on read") removed from the event header. The read path still clears it there, just above the call that expands the payload. Embed a sanitised copy instead, treated exactly as snd_seq_read() treats the header. A stack copy is enough because delivery is synchronous and snd_seq_event_dup() copies before returning. An unprivileged client reaches this by setting SNDRV_SEQ_FILTER_BOUNCE, queueing a variable-length event to a port that does not exist and reading the bounce back. Eight bytes on 64-bit, from its own pool.

CVE-2026-90219 Unknown Sep 17, 2026

RDMA/cxgb4: Free debugfs on registration failure

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/cxgb4: Free debugfs on registration failure c4iw_alloc() creates the per-device debugfs tree (dev->debugfs_root via setup_debugfs()), but it is removed only in c4iw_remove(), not in c4iw_dealloc(). When RDMA device registration fails, the registration worker's err_dealloc_ctx path calls c4iw_dealloc() directly, bypassing c4iw_remove(), so the debugfs dentries leak and outlive the freed c4iw_dev. Move debugfs_remove_recursive() into c4iw_dealloc() so every path that frees ctx->dev also removes its debugfs tree.

bpf: Compare iterator types during state pruning

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Compare iterator types during state pruning An iterator stack slot can be MEM_RCU or PTR_UNTRUSTED. These states must not be equal, or the verifier can prune an unsafe path. Compare the pointer type for STACK_ITER slots.

ubi: Fix rollback for explicit UBI device numbers

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ubi: Fix rollback for explicit UBI device numbers ubi_init_attach() rolls back module initialization failures by scanning ubi_devices[0..i-1], where i is the mtd= parameter index. That assumes the parameter index matches the UBI device number. That assumption is not true when mtd= specifies an explicit ubi_num. A successfully attached device can be stored at a higher ubi_devices[] slot, and a later failure can miss it during rollback. Scan the full ubi_devices[] array and detach by the actual array index, matching the way UBI devices are stored.

mtd: ubi: Release device reference on busy detach

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mtd: ubi: Release device reference on busy detach ubi_detach_mtd_dev() obtains a device reference through ubi_get_device() before checking whether the UBI device is busy. The busy return path drops ubi->ref_count but leaves the device reference held, so the device object cannot be released after a later detach. Drop the device reference before returning -EBUSY.

CVE-2026-90214 Unknown Sep 17, 2026

ASoC: xilinx: formatter_pcm: fix stream_data leak on open error

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: xilinx: formatter_pcm: fix stream_data leak on open error In xlnx_formatter_pcm_open(), stream_data is allocated and adata->play_stream or adata->capture_stream is assigned early. If a later step, such as snd_pcm_hw_constraint_step() or snd_pcm_hw_constraint_integer(), fails, the function returns the error immediately. ALSA does not call the close callback when open fails, so stream_data is leaked and the stream pointer is left dangling, pointing to a substream that ALSA frees. A later interrupt would then call snd_pcm_period_elapsed() on the freed substream. Free stream_data and clear the stream pointer on the error paths.

firewire: core: fix memory leak in error path of build_tree()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firewire: core: fix memory leak in error path of build_tree() In the error path of build_tree(), node instances can remain in the local linked list when the function returns. Whenever an invalid value is detected in the self ID sequence, each allocated node instance is either an entry in the linked list or an entry in the ports array of its parent node. Therefore, the allocate node instances can be safely released by traversing the linked list from its head. Release the remaining node instances with for_each_fw_node() before returning to the caller.

arm64/efi: Avoid voluntary preemption with efi_mm installed

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64/efi: Avoid voluntary preemption with efi_mm installed Gus reports a bad kernel memory access when using software PAN (CONFIG_ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN=y) on a machine with support for EFI runtime services: Unable to handle kernel access to user memory outside uaccess routines at virtual address 00000000f322ff30 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x0000000096000004 FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000004 [#1] SMP Workqueue: efi_rts_wq efi_call_rts pstate: 80400005 (Nzcv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : efi_call_rts+0xd8/0x288 Call trace: efi_call_rts+0xd8/0x288 (P) process_one_work+0x178/0x4f8 worker_thread+0x194/0x328 This is because the fpsimd context management code called from __efi_fpsimd_begin() can preempt voluntarily, returning later to the EFI code with an incorrect value for TTBR0_EL1 thanks to the deferred mm switching used by the software PAN implementation. Since EFI runtime services cannot preempt voluntarily and because the fpsimd switching code does not rely on the TTBR0_EL1 mappings, simply reorder the fpsimd switch so that it occurs before we change the page-table.

bpf, s390: Clear fetch destination on faulting arena atomic

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf, s390: Clear fetch destination on faulting arena atomic Same missing register clear as on riscv64. A RMW atomic on an arena pointer is converted to BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC and gets an exception table entry, but bpf_jit_probe_atomic_pre() only fills in the arena base and the probe offset, leaving probe->reg at the -1 that bpf_jit_probe_init() set, which bpf_jit_probe_post() writes into the entry and ex_handler_bpf() then reads back as "there is nothing to clear". That is right for a plain BPF_{ADD,AND,OR,XOR}, which only writes memory, but an RMW carrying BPF_FETCH also reads the old value into a register: src_reg for BPF_{ADD,AND,OR,XOR} | BPF_FETCH and BPF_XCHG, and r0 for BPF_CMPXCHG. So on a fault over an unmapped arena page the program resumes at the landing pad with whatever that register held before the atomic instead of the 0 that every other BPF_PROBE_* access delivers. Fill probe->reg in from bpf_atomic_load_reg(). Unlike x86-64 and arm64, s390x does not report arena violations from its exception handler, so there is no access direction to correct here, only the missing register clear.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix UAF in bpf_trampoline_multi_attach_free on update failure When bpf_trampoline_update() fails before modify_fentry_multi()/ unregister_fentry_multi() is called, cur_image is unchanged (cur_image == old_image) and ftrace still calls into it. Freeing old_image in that case causes a UAF. Only free old_image when it differs from cur_image.

s390/debug: Fix deadlock during unregister

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/debug: Fix deadlock during unregister Unregistering an s390dbf debug area while one of the associated debugfs files is being written to can cause a deadlock: $ echo >.../vmur/level $ rmmod vmur =================================================== debugfs write debugfs_file_get() debug_unregister() mutex_lock(debug_mutex) debugfs_remove() wait for debugfs_file_put() debug_file_ops.write() debug_input() mutex_lock(debug_mutex) ==> DEADLOCK Fix this by splitting debug_unregister() into an s390dbf and debugfs part, and running only the s390dbf part with debug_mutex locked.

ALSA: seq: midi: Serialize input teardown with event_input

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: seq: midi: Serialize input teardown with event_input snd_midi_input_event() must not be running while a rawmidi substream is closing, since this can lead to the trigger state becoming out-of-step through this sequence in snd_rawmidi_input_trigger(): snd_rawmidi_input_trigger(up=0) snd_midi_input_event() -> snd_rawmidi_kernel_read() -> snd_rawmidi_input_trigger(up=1) -> cancel_work_sync() which ends with the underlying device being active unexpectedly. When this is called from close_substream(), further input can re-trigger the input event leaving it running after rawmidi_release_priv() has set rfile->rmidi to NULL which leads to: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000b0 Call trace: snd_midi_input_event+0x3c/0x134 [snd_seq_midi] (P) snd_rawmidi_input_event_work+0x1c/0x2c process_one_work+0x150/0x3a4 worker_thread+0x190/0x318 Apply a similar approach to commit ef7607ab1c8ad ("ALSA: seq: midi: Serialize output teardown with event_input") which fixed the same issue in the output direction, but updated to use RCU following Takashi Iwai's proposed follow-on patch [1]. With this change in place, midisynth_unsubscribe() clears the input file so snd_midi_input_event() will not re-trigger the stream and will be quiesced by the cancel_work_sync() in snd_rawmidi_input_trigger().

ocfs2: validate orphan slot during inode read

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: validate orphan slot during inode read Patch series "ocfs2: validate active orphan slots during inode read". OCFS2 trusts active ordinary and append-DIO orphan slots read from dinodes. A corrupted slot can therefore index osb_orphan_wipes or the slot-local system-inode cache outside their allocations before the corruption is reported. Patch 1 validates the ordinary orphan slot used by inode wipe processing. Patch 2 validates the append-DIO orphan slot used by DIO completion and orphan recovery. Both checks reject corrupt metadata at the existing inode validation boundary. This patch (of 2): [BUG] A corrupted dinode with OCFS2_ORPHANED_FL can carry an i_orphaned_slot outside the mounted filesystem slot range. ocfs2_wipe_inode() uses it to index osb_orphan_wipes before looking up the orphan directory, causing an out-of-bounds memory access. BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ocfs2_get_system_file_inode+0x780/0x820 fs/ocfs2/sysfile.c:102 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88800b767c00 by task kworker/u8:3/85 Call Trace: ... ocfs2_get_system_file_inode+0x780/0x820 fs/ocfs2/sysfile.c:102 ocfs2_wipe_inode+0x292/0xf70 fs/ocfs2/inode.c:840 ocfs2_delete_inode fs/ocfs2/inode.c:1155 [inline] ocfs2_evict_inode+0x6c9/0x1170 fs/ocfs2/inode.c:1295 evict+0x38e/0x8f0 fs/inode.c:810 iput_final fs/inode.c:1914 [inline] iput fs/inode.c:1966 [inline] iput+0x55b/0x8b0 fs/inode.c:1926 ocfs2_recover_orphans+0x610/0xe40 fs/ocfs2/journal.c:2374 ocfs2_complete_recovery+0x5af/0xd00 fs/ocfs2/journal.c:1373 ... [CAUSE] ocfs2_validate_inode_block() validates i_suballoc_slot but leaves the active ordinary orphan slot unchecked. Downstream consumers assume that the value is smaller than osb->max_slots. [FIX] Reject an active i_orphaned_slot outside the slot range during dinode validation, before the inode reaches orphan wipe processing.
