Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2025-68251 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in EROFS compressed data metadata handling. According to the provided fix description, corrupted subpage compact indexes can encode an invalid clusterofs value larger than lclustersize for non-head logical clusters, which can cause the kernel to enter an infinite loop while processing a crafted EROFS image. The issue was addressed by moving the bounds check used for full compression indexes into z_erofs_load_lcluster_from_disk() so that it also validates subpage compact compression indexes, and by correcting the placement of the m->type >= Z_EROFS_LCLUSTER_TYPE_MAX validation after z_erofs_load_{compact,full}_lcluster() parsing.
