Subject: [PATCH] ubifs: Fix read out-of-bounds in ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock()

Function ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock() may access buf out of bounds in following process:

ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock():
aligned_len = ALIGN(len, 8); // Assume len = 4089, aligned_len = 4096
if (aligned_len <= wbuf->avail) ... // Not satisfy

  if (wbuf->used) {
    ubifs_leb_write()  // Fill some data in avail wbuf
    len -= wbuf->avail;   // len is still not 8-bytes aligned
    aligned_len -= wbuf->avail;
  }
  n = aligned_len >> c->max_write_shift;
  if (n) {
    n <<= c->max_write_shift;
    err = ubifs_leb_write(c, wbuf->lnum, buf + written,
                          wbuf->offs, n);
    // n > len, read out of bounds less than 8(n-len) bytes

}

Function ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock() accepts that parameter 'len' is not 8 bytes aligned, the 'len' represents the true length of buf (which is allocated in 'ubifs_jnl_xxx', eg. ubifs_jnl_write_inode), so ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock() must handle the length read from 'buf' carefully to write leb safely.
