Subject: CVE-2021-4155 kernel: xfs: raw block device data leak
 in ioctl(XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP)

Hello,

A data leak flaw was found in the way XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP IOCTL in the XFS
filesystem allowed for a size increase of files with unaligned size. A
local attacker could use this flaw to leak data on the XFS filesystem
otherwise not accessible to them.

#Description

(Kirill reported)
"the scenario is:

1)truncate() file by unaligned @size;
2)ioctl(XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP) to increase the file size up to 4096.

then xfs_ioc_space()->xfs_vn_setattr_size() never zeros [round_down(@size,
4096), @size]
and this raw block device data leaks away to user."
