In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: fix unsigned underflow in z_erofs_lz4_handle_overlap() Some crafted images can have illegal (!partial_decoding && m_llen < m_plen) extents, and the LZ4 inplace decompression path can be wrongly hit, but it cannot handle (outpages < inpages) properly: "outpages - inpages" wraps to a large value and the subsequent rq->out[] access reads past the decompressed_pages array. However, such crafted cases can correctly result in a corruption report in the normal LZ4 non-inplace path. Let's add an additional check to fix this for backporting.
