CVE-2025-40044CVE-2025-40044
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
