[PATCH] Squashfs: reject negative file sizes in squashfs_read_inode()
From: Phillip Lougher
Date: Fri Sep 26 2025 - 19:41:59 EST
Syskaller reports a "WARNING in ovl_copy_up_file" in overlayfs.
This warning is ultimately caused because the underlying
Squashfs file system returns a file with a negative file size.
This commit checks for a negative file size and returns EINVAL.
Fixes: 6545b246a2c8 ("Squashfs: inode operations")
Reported-by: syzbot+f754e01116421e9754b9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/68d580e5.a00a0220.303701.0019.GAE@xxxxxxxxxx/
