[PATCH 1/2] squashfs: fix fragment index table sizing overflow on 32-bit
From: Karl Mehltretter
Date: Sat Aug 22 2026 - 10:34:10 EST
SQUASHFS_FRAGMENT_BYTES() multiplies the on-disk fragment count (an
unsigned int) by sizeof(struct squashfs_fragment_entry), a size_t. On
a 32-bit kernel that product is 32-bit and can wrap.
squashfs_read_fragment_index_table() sizes the fragment index table
from it, but squashfs_frag_lookup() bounds the fragment number against
msblk->fragments, the unwrapped superblock value. The two disagree: an
image declaring 0x10000001 fragments wraps the product to 16, so a
single index entry is allocated, yet the lookup still accepts fragment
0x0fffffff:
if (fragment >= msblk->fragments)
return -EIO;
block = SQUASHFS_FRAGMENT_INDEX(fragment);
...
start_block = le64_to_cpu(msblk->fragment_index[block]);
block is then 524287 and the read lands ~4MB past an 8-byte
allocation. On a 32-bit build KASAN catches it when the crafted image
is mounted and the file is stat'd.
Cast to u64 in the macro so the multiplication is 64-bit on all
targets. After conversion to index-table entries,
SQUASHFS_FRAGMENT_INDEX_BYTES() is at most 64 MiB for any u32 count,
so it fits both the unsigned int local and the int argument it feeds.
64-bit builds are unchanged.
