RAVENPLAT-310: Kernel components ext4 filesystem - CVE-2018-10880[1/1]

PD#SWPL-15901

Problem:
In ext4_xattr_make_inode_space of xattr.c, there is a possible out-of-bounds
write due to improper input validation. This could lead to local escalation
of privilege in the kernel with no additional execution privileges needed.
User interaction is needed for exploitation.

Solution:
The fix is designed to never move system.data out of the inode.

Platform:
Raven

Verify:
