Summary

In the Linux kernel, the EROFS filesystem has an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the case of invalid interlaced ztailpacking pclusters. Filesystem images can contain invalid clusters, leading to a read from a kmap'd page and copying irrelevant kernel memory into userspace-visible page cache.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to disclose sensitive kernel memory data, potentially leading to information leakage.

Recommendation

Install a kernel patch that rejects invalid interlaced ztailpacking pclusters.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: fix interlaced ztailpacking pclusters On-disk sizes of interlaced pclusters should be block-aligned, and ztailpacking interlaced pclusters should be invalid at all. Currently, mkfs.erofs won't generate any interlaced pcluster with ztailpacking enabled, so this doesn't affect any existing valid filesystems. However, crafted images can contain invalid interlaced ztailpacking pclusters, resulting in an out-of-bounds read from a kmap'd page and copying irrelevant kernel memory into userspace-visible page cache.
