High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel regarding the improper classification of data as interlaced plain extents. This issue occurs when data is not properly aligned to the block size, potentially leading to out-of-bounds read errors.

Risk Assessment

Exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to unauthorized data reads, posing a significant threat to the integrity and confidentiality of the system.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version where this vulnerability has been fixed to minimize the risk associated with potential exploitation.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: fix interlaced plain identification for encoded extents Only plain data whose start position and on-disk physical length are both aligned to the block size should be classified as interlaced plain extents. Otherwise, it must be treated as shifted plain extents. This issue was found by syzbot using a crafted compressed image containing plain extents with unaligned physical lengths, which can cause OOB read in z_erofs_transform_plain().
