getvolattrlist takes a user controlled bufferSize argument via the fgetattrlist syscall.

When allocating a kernel buffer to serialize the attr list to there's the following comment:

  /*
   * Allocate a target buffer for attribute results.
   * Note that since we won't ever copy out more than the caller requested,
   * we never need to allocate more than they offer.
   */
  ab.allocated = ulmin(bufferSize, fixedsize + varsize);
  if (ab.allocated > ATTR_MAX_BUFFER) {
    error = ENOMEM;
    VFS_DEBUG(ctx, vp, "ATTRLIST - ERROR: buffer size too large (%d limit %d)", ab.allocated, ATTR_MAX_BUFFER);
    goto out;
  }
  MALLOC(ab.base, char *, ab.allocated, M_TEMP, M_ZERO | M_WAITOK);

The problem is that the code doesn't then correctly handle the case when the user supplied buffer size
is smaller that the requested header size. If we pass ATTR_CMN_RETURNED_ATTRS we'll hit the following code:

  /* Return attribute set output if requested. */
  if (return_valid) {
    ab.actual.commonattr |= ATTR_CMN_RETURNED_ATTRS;
    if (pack_invalid) {
      /* Only report the attributes that are valid */
      ab.actual.commonattr &= ab.valid.commonattr;
      ab.actual.volattr &= ab.valid.volattr;
    }
    bcopy(&ab.actual, ab.base + sizeof(uint32_t), sizeof (ab.actual));
  }

There's no check that the allocated buffer is big enough to hold at least that.
