CVE-2026-10645CVE-2026-10645

Zephyr's ext2 directory-entry parser does not fully validate on-disk directory entry structure before copying the entry name and advancing traversal state. In ext2_fetch_direntry() (subsys/fs/ext2/ext2_diskops.c), the code only checks de_name_len <= EXT2_MAX_FILE_NAME and then copies the name with memcpy without validating the structural relationship between de_rec_len, de_name_len, and the directory block boundary (for example that de_rec_len is non-zero, at least the size of the entry header, and that the record fits within the block). Callers such as find_dir_entry() and ext2_get_direntry() (subsys/fs/ext2/ext2_impl.c) then advance traversal using the unvalidated de_rec_len. A crafted ext2 image can therefore cause an out-of-bounds read from the directory block buffer when a malformed entry near the end of a block triggers an oversized name copy, or a zero-progress infinite loop when de_rec_len == 0. The issue is not reached at mount time but later through directory traversal paths
