From 9f1c14c1de1bdde395f6cc893efa4f80a2ae3b2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phillip Lougher phillip@squashfs.org.uk Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2025 22:59:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Squashfs: reject negative file sizes in squashfs_read_inode()
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.
