Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: stop parsing non-compact HEAD index if clusterofs is invalid Syzbot generated a crafted image [1] with a non-compact HEAD index of clusterofs 33024 while valid numbers should be 0 ~ lclustersize-1, which causes the following unexpected behavior as below: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffff52101a3fff9 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 23ffed067 P4D 23ffed067 PUD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN CPU: 1 PID: 4398 Comm: kworker/u5:1 Not tainted 6.3.0-rc6-syzkaller-g09a9639e56c0 #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 03/30/2023 Workqueue: erofs_worker z_erofs_decompressqueue_work RIP: 0010:z_erofs_decompress_queue+0xb7e/0x2b40 ...
