Subject: [PATCH] lib/lzo: check output space before writing the RLE header
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 17:09:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016170857.44908-1-ssnider5@outlook.com> (raw)

The safe LZO-RLE compressor writes its two-byte version header before
checking the available output space. With an output capacity of zero or
one, these stores exceed the supplied limit. Advancing op past op_end
also makes the unsigned HAVE_OP() comparison accept later writes.

Check for the two header bytes before emitting them. Use the existing
output_overrun path, leaving the output length unchanged on this error.
Ordinary LZO does not emit this header. Valid output is unchanged.

Bounded userspace tests of the kernel codec under ASan/UBSan reproduced
the boundary violation and passed after the correction. Successful
full-capacity streams remained byte-identical, and the existing Crypto
LZO and LZO-RLE compression vectors passed.

Fixes: cc47f07234f7 ("crypto: lzo - Fix compression buffer overrun")
