In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: Fix pcluster memleak when its block address is zero
syzkaller reported a memleak:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=62f37ff612f0021641eda5b17f056f1668aa9aed
unreferenced object 0xffff88811009c7f8 (size 136):
...
backtrace:
[<ffffffff821db19b>] z_erofs_do_read_page+0x99b/0x1740
[<ffffffff821dee9e>] z_erofs_readahead+0x24e/0x580
[<ffffffff814bc0d6>] read_pages+0x86/0x3d0
...
syzkaller constructed a case: in z_erofs_register_pcluster(),
ztailpacking = false and map->m_pa = zero. This makes pcl->obj.index be
zero although pcl is not a inline pcluster.
Then following path adds refcount for grp, but the refcount won't be put
because pcl is inline.
z_erofs_readahead()
z_erofs_do_read_page() # for another page
z_erofs_collector_begin()
erofs_find_workgroup()
erofs_workgroup_get()
Since it's illegal for the block address of a non-inlined pcluster to
be zero, add check here to avoid registering the pcluster which would
be leaked.
