[CAUSE] ea_foreach_i() validates that each EA record stays within the block and has a valid type, but it does not verify that the recorded span covers the layout encoded by ea_name_len, ea_data_len, and ea_num_ptrs. Computing that layout from corrupt metadata must also be overflow-safe. If a malformed record reaches ea_set_simple() with a recorded length smaller than its computed layout, the unsigned subtraction in the split test underflows and falsely claims there is enough free space. ea_split_ea() then writes the new EA header outside the real record. [FIX] Add an overflow-safe ea_rec_len_valid() helper and call it from ea_foreach_i(). The helper folds the zero-length check into the common record-length validation, rejects records whose computed layout overflows, and rejects records whose recorded span is smaller than the aligned layout size.
