Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs: udf: fix OOB read in lengthAllocDescs handling

When parsing Allocation Extent Descriptor, lengthAllocDescs comes from on-disk data and must be validated against the block size. Crafted or corrupted images may set lengthAllocDescs so that the total descriptor length (sizeof(allocExtDesc) + lengthAllocDescs) exceeds the buffer, leading udf_update_tag() to call crc_itu_t() on out-of-bounds memory and trigger a KASAN use-after-free read.

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in crc_itu_t+0x1d5/0x2b0 lib/crc-itu-t.c:60 Read of size 1 at addr ffff888041e7d000 by task syz-executor317/5309
