What it is

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

erofs: fix interlaced ztailpacking pclusters

On-disk sizes of interlaced pclusters should be block-aligned, and

ztailpacking interlaced pclusters should be invalid at all.

Currently, mkfs.erofs won't generate any interlaced pcluster with

ztailpacking enabled, so this doesn't affect any existing valid

filesystems.

However, crafted images can contain invalid interlaced ztailpacking

pclusters, resulting in an out-of-bounds read from a kmap'd page and

copying irrelevant kernel memory into userspace-visible page cache.
