CVE-2022-49747 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

erofs/zmap.c: Fix incorrect offset calculation

Effective offset to add to length was being incorrectly calculated which resulted in iomap->length being set to 0 triggering a WARN_ON in iomap_iter_done().

Fix that and describe it in comments.

This was reported as a crash by syzbot under an issue about a warning encountered in iomap_iter_done() but unrelated to erofs.
