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.
