CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2022-50313
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix order >= MAX_ORDER warning due to crafted negative i_size
As syzbot reported [1], the root cause is that i_size field is a
signed type, and negative i_size is also less than EROFS_BLKSIZ.
As a consequence, it's handled as fast symlink unexpectedly.
Let's fall back to the generic path to deal with such unusual i_size.
