CVE-2026-23388 HIGH

Published: 2026-03-25 | Last Modified: 2026-04-24 | Status: Analyzed

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Squashfs: check metadata block offset is within range Syzkaller reports a "general protection fault in squashfs_copy_data" This is ultimately caused by a corrupted index look-up table, which produces a negative metadata block offset. This is subsequently passed to squashfs_copy_data (via squashfs_read_metadata) where the negative offset causes an out of bounds access. The fix is to check that the offset is within range in squashfs_read_metadata. This will trap this and other cases.

En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: Squashfs: comprobar que el desplazamiento del bloque de metadatos está dentro del rango Syzkaller informa de un 'fallo de protección general en squashfs_copy_data' Esto es causado en última instancia por una tabla de búsqueda de índices corrupta, que produce un desplazamiento de bloque de metadatos negativo. Esto se pasa posteriormente a squashfs_copy_data (a través de squashfs_read_metadata) donde el desplazamiento negativo causa un acceso fuera de límites. La solución es comprobar que el desplazamiento está dentro del rango en squashfs_read_metadata. Esto atrapará este y otros casos.
