In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Squashfs: reject negative file sizes in squashfs_read_inode()
Syskaller reports a "WARNING in ovl_copy_up_file" in overlayfs.
This warning is ultimately caused because the underlying Squashfs file
system returns a file with a negative file size.
This commit checks for a negative file size and returns EINVAL.
[phillip@squashfs.org.uk: only need to check 64 bit quantity]
An integer validation issue was found in the Linux kernel's Squashfs filesystem when reading inode metadata. A local user can trigger this issue by mounting a maliciously crafted Squashfs image containing inodes with negative file sizes. When overlayfs attempts to copy up such files, the negative size value causes warnings in the VFS layer and can lead to unexpected behavior, memory corruption, or denial of service through system instability.
Отчет
Squashfs reads on-disk inode structures without validating that file sizes are non-negative. A crafted image with negative file sizes causes warnings when overlayfs attempts copy-up operations, as the negative value confuses VFS copy routines. Depending on how the negative value propagates through size calculations, it can cause buffer operations with nonsensical lengths or other undefined behavior. The fix rejects negative file sizes during inode reading.
