No network protocol message carries those fields.\nAC:L - Setting both advise flags plus z_idata_size on a compressed inode with a PLAIN EOF lcluster makes z_erofs_map_blocks_fo assign Z_EROFS_COMPRESSION_INTERLACED despite EROFS_MAP_META; the following read of that tail reaches z_erofs_transform_plain every time, with no race or attacker-uncontrolled condition.\nPR:N - Crafting and supplying the interlaced+ztailpacking image requires no account on the target. erofs_fs_type has FS_REQUIRES_DEV and lacks FS_USERNS_MOUNT, so the attacker cannot self-mount in a userns; the CAP_SYS_ADMIN mount is the victim's action and is scored as UI:R.\nUI:R - A victim or automounter must mount the attacker-supplied EROFS image and read the compressed file so z_erofs_read_folio maps the ztailpacking pcluster. erofs_read_superblock and erofs_fill_inode do not call z_erofs_map_blocks_fo for that tail.\nS:U - The over-read in z_erofs_transform_plain and the memcpy_to_page into the file folio stay inside the host kernel; this does not cross a KVM/Xen, IOMMU, or sandbox authority.\nC:H - z_erofs_transform_plain kmaps the inline-metadata page and copies cur bytes from kin+pi into the output folio via memcpy_to_page. Unaligned ztailpacking pageofs_in (map->m_pa & ~PAGE_MASK) makes pi+cur run off that page, so up to a block of adjacent kernel memory becomes readable through the file.\nI:N - The write lands in rq->out[0] at pageofs_out for length cur=min(bs-(pageofs_out&(bs-1)),outputsize), which stays inside the first output folio. The defect is an input-side over-read, not an OOB write or corruption of kernel control data.\nA:H - The kmap_local_page over-read in the interlaced branch of z_erofs_transform_plain can fault when the next virtual page is unmapped (HIGHMEM kmap slots, debug_pagealloc, KASAN), oopsing the kernel, and reading the crafted tail again retriggers it."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/erofs/decompressor.c", "fs/erofs/zmap.c"], "versions": [{"version": "fdffc091e6f94602558bba712b51bc16f79fd6d5", "lessThan": "ddb7ea4fd99bf6c4314d1dfca18aec6945ce8054", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "fdffc091e6f94602558bba712b51bc16f79fd6d5", "lessThan": "451027c642e752420e1a04237db9ce7b35cee595", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "fdffc091e6f94602558bba712b51bc16f79fd6d5", "lessThan": "862427ebb81d1f6abbf74d799790e1694b37b187", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "7d6ef8277e44c22f894d54d26ddb36c22d60712d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "6.0.16", "lessThan": "6.1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/erofs/decompressor.c", "fs/erofs/zmap.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.1", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.1", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.52", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3-rc1", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.52"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc1"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0.16"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ddb7ea4fd99bf6c4314d1dfca18aec6945ce8054"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/451027c642e752420e1a04237db9ce7b35cee595"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/862427ebb81d1f6abbf74d799790e1694b37b187"}], "title": "erofs: fix interlaced ztailpacking pclusters", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
