The LZ4 max_pclusterblks field is not parsed from a network protocol, so the vector is Local.\nAC:L - The attacker picks max_pclusterblks on two images (a large grow, then a strictly smaller size). After GFP_KERNEL alloc_pages_bulk()/vmap fails mid-loop, some per-CPU gbufs stay enlarged while z_erofs_gbuf_nrpages does not; the next intermediate mount then copies gbuf->nrpages pointers into a smaller tmp_pages array with no race. A max-size image plus memory pressure makes that partial failure attacker-inducible.\nPR:N - Crafting and supplying the malicious EROFS images needs no account or capability on the target. erofs_fs_type lacks FS_USERNS_MOUNT, so the CAP_SYS_ADMIN mount is done by a victim, automounter, or container runtime (OCI/Nydus/Android image handling), matching other crafted-image EROFS CVEs.\nUI:R - mount_capable() requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the initial user namespace because EROFS is not FS_USERNS_MOUNT. A separate user, automounter, or container runtime must mount the attacker-supplied images before z_erofs_gbuf_growsize() runs.\nS:U - The heap overflow corrupts kmalloc objects inside the host kernel. That is standard kernel memory corruption within one security authority, not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary impact.\nC:H - The copy loop writes a nearly page-count-sized run of struct page * values past the kmalloc tmp_pages array (up to hundreds of pointers when max_pclusterblks is 256). That slab corruption can be turned into an arbitrary-read primitive against adjacent objects, so confidentiality impact is High.\nI:H - This is a kernel heap out-of-bounds write whose length is chosen by the two image sizes, smashing adjacent slab objects with kernel page pointers. Out-of-bounds writes are exploitable for arbitrary write and control-flow hijacking, so integrity impact is High.\nA:H - Overwriting adjacent kmalloc metadata and objects causes a kernel oops or panic. Independently, retrying the same size after a partial grow treats a full tmp_pages array as -ENOMEM and leaves the pool stuck, so later EROFS mounts fail until reboot."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/erofs/zutil.c"], "versions": [{"version": "d6db47e571dcaecaeaafa8840d00ae849ae3907b", "lessThan": "3fbdd15d5830f52661eb78be95058d101cb0c2cb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d6db47e571dcaecaeaafa8840d00ae849ae3907b", "lessThan": "7267557ce98ccd07faaf3bc86382448950cc4ff6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d6db47e571dcaecaeaafa8840d00ae849ae3907b", "lessThan": "7f4a89d4f0d6acaf4b756c31de48f2109a257b70", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d6db47e571dcaecaeaafa8840d00ae849ae3907b", "lessThan": "a7d097cf01301c5da37927c8f26123d006f0fd8a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/erofs/zutil.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.10", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.10", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.111", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "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": "6.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.111"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.10", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.10", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3fbdd15d5830f52661eb78be95058d101cb0c2cb"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7267557ce98ccd07faaf3bc86382448950cc4ff6"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7f4a89d4f0d6acaf4b756c31de48f2109a257b70"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a7d097cf01301c5da37927c8f26123d006f0fd8a"}], "title": "erofs: skip sufficiently large global buffers when resizing", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
