In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: skip sufficiently large global buffers when resizing
z_erofs_gbuf_nrpages is advanced only after every global buffer has been
grown. If a resize fails after some buffers were enlarged, a retry
revisits those enlarged buffers.
Retrying the same size then returns -ENOMEM because alloc_pages_bulk()
has no pages to add and the unchanged return value is treated as a
failure. Retrying an intermediate size allocates a temporary pointer
array smaller than gbuf->nrpages and copies more existing pointers than
the array can hold.
Skip buffers that already satisfy the request. Once all remaining
buffers have caught up, advancing z_erofs_gbuf_nrpages again describes
the guaranteed minimum size across the pool.
A flaw was found in the erofs (Enhanced Read-Only File System) component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs when resizing global buffers, specifically if a resize operation fails after some buffers have already been enlarged. A subsequent retry can lead to memory corruption by attempting to copy more data than an allocated buffer can hold. Additionally, retrying with the same size can result in an out-of-memory error, causing a denial of service.
