Hi Chengyang,

If I understand correctly, is this a manually produced fuzzed
EROFS compressed data? If it's just a normal image, could you
also share the original image?

erofs: (device loop0): z_erofs_lz4_decompress: failed to decompress -4099 in[4096, 0] out[9000]

Off-by-one error causes the above issue. In LZ4_decompress_generic(),
`iend = src + srcSize`. It means the valid address range should be
[src, iend - 1]. Therefore, when checking whether the reading is
out-of-bounds, it should be `>= iend` rather than `> iend`.
This isn’t correct. The bounds check is correct for the following memcpy().
The problem is the LZ4_readLE16() on line 285 [1].
Yeah, it's my fault. This fix is incorrect.

I'm not sure it should be fixed as this.
Yeah, this is not the correct fix. `ip + length > iend` is correct for the
memcpy(). You would instead need to add another check after the
memcpy(). E.g. something like this, taken from upstream [2].

```

LZ4_memmove(op, ip, length);
ip += length;
op += length;

/* Necessarily EOF, due to parsing restrictions */
- if (!partialDecoding || (cpy == oend))
+ if (!partialDecoding || (cpy == oend) || (ip >= (iend-2)))
break;
```

This should be enough to fix the out of bounds read you reported.
However, I can’t guarantee that this will fix all the issues that have been
fixed upstream since v1.8.3.

The safest and most robust course of action would be to update the version
of LZ4 in the kernel to the latest upstream, which is continuously fuzzed, and
doesn't have this issue.

Best,
Nick Terrell

Thanks for pointing this out. I ignored the modifications of LZ4 upstream before. So I'll

recheck them and find the right way to fix this error.


Thanks,

Chengyang Fan

The current lz4 decompression code was from lz4 1.8.3, and I saw
several following up fixes for incomplete input partial decoding
in recent LZ4 upstream, you could check them out together. However,
EROFS should never pass incomplete lz4 compressed data to the LZ4
side unless it's somewhat a corrupted image on purpose.
