Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's erofs filesystem. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds (OOB) read by providing a specially crafted compressed image. The flaw occurs due to incorrect identification of interlaced plain extents when their start position or on-disk physical length is not aligned to the block size. A successful exploit could lead to information disclosure or a denial of service.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-06 13:06:20 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

erofs: fix interlaced plain identification for encoded extents

Only plain data whose start position and on-disk physical length are
both aligned to the block size should be classified as interlaced
plain extents. Otherwise, it must be treated as shifted plain extents.

This issue was found by syzbot using a crafted compressed image
containing plain extents with unaligned physical lengths, which can
cause OOB read in z_erofs_transform_plain().
