Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: disable LZ4 rolling decompression for now
LZ4 rolling decompression [1] was introduced to reduce the memory
footprint of temporary pages:
For many cases, it is needed for users to read small data within
a compressed extent (pcluster), either due to random small read, or
since uptodate folios (typically order-0) cannot be reused for
decompression again since decompression algorithm refills
already-uptodate folios.
Rolling decompression works because LZ4 is LZ77-based and only refers
to the most recent 64 KiB of decompressed data, so in theory only a
bounded rolling window of temporary pages is needed when decompressing.
It can save a lot of temporary memory, e.g.
601,960-byte data can be compressed into a 256k LZ4 compressed extent,
which means it needs 146 extra pages per request in the worst case if
rolling decompression is disabled.
However, the upstream LZ4 implementation is not under EROFS' con
