Subject: [PATCH] erofs-utils: tar: refuse negative size in tar header
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 11:04:27 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717030427.1769514-1-hsiangkao@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260716032401.4172874-1-hsiangkao@linux.alibaba.com>

As @oscarjhk reported:

When tar-index mode is used, the inode chunk count will be calculated
as 0 if a crafted GNU base-256 size is UINT64_MAX, which will cause
a heap out-of-bounds write.

Fixes: 95d315fd7958 ("erofs-utils: introduce tarerofs")
