Description

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.
