------------------------------------------------------ From: Phillip Lougher phillip@squashfs.org.uk Subject: Squashfs: reject negative file sizes in squashfs_read_inode() Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2025 22:59:35 +0100
Syskaller reports a "WARNING in ovl_copy_up_file" in overlayfs.
This warning is ultimately caused because the underlying Squashfs file system returns a file with a negative file size.
This commit checks for a negative file size and returns EINVAL.
