Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-24 14:04:59 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

erofs: stop parsing non-compact HEAD index if clusterofs is invalid

Syzbot generated a crafted image [1] with a non-compact HEAD index of
clusterofs 33024 while valid numbers should be 0 ~ lclustersize-1,
which causes the following unexpected behavior as below:

 BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffff52101a3fff9
 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
 #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

Note that normal images or images using compact indexes are not
impacted.  Let's fix this now.
