CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
Exploitability: 1.8 / Impact: 5.2
Source: NVD
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Squashfs: check metadata block offset is within range
Syzkaller reports a "general protection fault in squashfs_copy_data"
This is ultimately caused by a corrupted index look-up table, which
produces a negative metadata block offset.
This is subsequently passed to squashfs_copy_data (via
squashfs_read_metadata) where the negative offset causes an out of bounds
access.
The fix is to check that the offset is within range in
squashfs_read_metadata. This will trap this and other cases.
