Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System) component. A local user could provide a specially crafted EROFS image that triggers an unsigned underflow in the `z_erofs_lz4_handle_overlap()` function during LZ4 inplace decompression. This vulnerability allows the system to read past the `decompressed_pages` array, which can lead to memory corruption.
