What it is

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

udf: Do not bother merging very long extents

When merging very long extents we try to push as much length as possible

to the first extent. However this is unnecessarily complicated and not

really worth the trouble. Furthermore there was a bug in the logic

resulting in corrupting extents in the file as syzbot reproducer shows.

So just don't bother with the merging of extents that are too long

together.
