This proceeds to call\nloop_configure() which in turn calls loop_set_status_from_info()\n(see line 1050 of loop.c), passing &config->info which is of type\nloop_info64*. This function then sets the appropriate values, like\nthe offset.\n\nloop_device has lo_offset of type loff_t (see line 52 of loop.c),\nwhich is typdef-chained to long long, whereas loop_info64 has\nlo_offset of type __u64 (see line 56 of include/uapi/linux/loop.h).\n\nThe function directly copies offset from info to the device as\nfollows (See line 980 of loop.c):\n\tlo->lo_offset = info->lo_offset;\n\nThis results in an overflow, which triggers a warning in iomap_iter()\ndue to a call to iomap_iter_done() which has:\n\tWARN_ON_ONCE(iter->iomap.offset > iter->pos);\n\nThus, check for negative value during loop_set_status_from_info().\n\nBug report: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=c620fe14aac810396d3c3edc9ad73848bf69a29e","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0455bef69028c65065f16bb04635591b2374249b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/18e28817cb516b39de6281f6db9b0618b2cc7b42","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6858933131d0dadac071c4d33335a9ea4b8e76cf","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9be7fa7ead18a48940df7b59d993bbc8b9055c15","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a217715338fd48f72114725aa7a40e484a781ca7"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:03:23.287444849+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-49993","score":0.00253,"percentile":0.16894,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
