Subject: [PATCH] erofs: fix unsigned underflow in LZ4 in-place decompression
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:11:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016041143.2293155-1-liuc63@xiaopeng.com> (raw)

z_erofs_lz4_handle_overlap() computes the overlap offset between the
input and output page arrays as rq->outpages - rq->inpages.  Both
values are derived from on-disk pcluster metadata (pcl->length and
pcl->pclustersize) which an attacker can set independently, so
outpages may legitimately be smaller than inpages.  The unsigned
subtraction then underflows, causing rq->out[] to be indexed far out
of bounds and the returned LZ4 source pointer to point past the
output buffer, resulting in out-of-bounds reads and writes.

The in-place path is only valid when the output buffer is at least as
large as the input buffer, so guard the branch with
rq->outpages >= rq->inpages.  When the condition does not hold, fall
through to docopy, which copies the compressed data to the per-CPU
buffer and decompresses safely.
