Severity ?

5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

squashfs: harden sanity check in squashfs_read_xattr_id_table

While mounting a corrupted filesystem, a signed integer '*xattr_ids' can become less than zero. This leads to the incorrect computation of 'len' and 'indexes' values which can cause null-ptr-deref in copy_bio_to_actor() or out-of-bounds accesses in the next sanity checks inside squashfs_read_xattr_id_table().

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
