pairing a small blf_len with a bitmap region past the buffer end deterministically drives memcpy() past the xfs_buf allocation on every mount with no race or uncontrollable layout.\nPR:N - Mounting the crafted image requires no account or capability on the victim host in the malicious-filesystem threat model: an external attacker only supplies removable media or a disk image and desktop/kiosk udisks2 or systemd automount performs the privileged mount on device insertion without attacker credentials.\nUI:N - Once the crafted XFS volume is presented to the host, log recovery in xlog_recover_do_reg_buffer() runs automatically during mount (including read-only mounts) before any file access; the attacker needs no separate victim to open files, click links, or perform additional actions beyond presenting the image.\nS:U - Heap corruption occurs entirely within the mounting host kernel during log replay;
