Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix crafted invalid cases for encoded extents
Robert recently reported two corrupted images that can cause system
crashes, which are related to the new encoded extents introduced
in Linux 6.15:
- The first one [1] has plen != 0 (e.g. plen == 0x2000000) but
(plen & Z_EROFS_EXTENT_PLEN_MASK) == 0. It is used to represent
special extents such as sparse extents (!EROFS_MAP_MAPPED), but
previously only plen == 0 was handled;
- The second one [2] has pa 0xffffffffffdcffed and plen 0xb4000,
then "cur [0xfffffffffffff000] += bvec.bv_len [0x1000]" in
"} while ((cur += bvec.bv_len) < end);" wraps around, causing an
out-of-bound access of pcl->compressed_bvecs[] in
z_erofs_submit_queue(). EROFS only supports 48-bit physical block
addresses (up to 1EiB for 4k blocks), so add a sanity check to
enforce this.
Severity ?
