[PATCH 0/2] squashfs: harden fragment index table sizing
From: Karl Mehltretter
Date: Sat Aug 22 2026 - 10:33:41 EST
Two integer overflows undermine fragment index table handling. One is
in the original fragment sizing macros. The other is in a bounds check
added by commit 1cac63cc9b2f ("Squashfs: add sanity checks to fragment
reading at mount time").
Patch 1: the fragment byte count wraps on 32-bit, so the index table
is allocated too small and squashfs_frag_lookup() reads out of bounds.
A crafted image triggers a KASAN out-of-bounds read on a 32-bit build.
With the fix the same image fails cleanly at mount.
Patch 2: the check that the table fits before the next one adds two u64
values controlled by the filesystem image and can wrap.
Built W=1 with gcc (x86_64, i386) and clang (x86_64). Strict
checkpatch is clean.
