When checking the file name attribute, we want to ensure that it fits
within the bounds of ATTR_RECORD. To do this, we should check
that (attr record + file name offset + file name length) < (attr
record + attr record length).
However, the original check did not include the file name offset in
the calculation. This means that corrupted on-disk metadata might not
caught by the incorrect file name check, and lead to an invalid memory
access.
An example can be seen in the crash report of a memory corruption
error found by Syzbot:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=a1a1e379b225812688566745c3e2f7242bffc246
Adding the file name offset to the validity check fixes this error and
passes the Syzbot reproducer test.

Hi Anton,

Any chance to review this patch?

Best wishes,
