CVE-2026-89778In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: fix out-of-bounds page array access on empty zisofs block
zisofs_uncompress_block()'s empty-block fast path returns
pcount << PAGE_SHIFT, ignoring the incoming poffset, unlike the
decompression path which returns bytes produced relative to poffset.
zisofs_fill_pages() uses that return to advance its page cursor, so when
the zisofs block size is below PAGE_SIZE and a sub-page block leaves
poffset partway into a page, a following empty block over-counts and
advances pages[] one element past its end, after which
"if (poffset && *pages)" reads pages[1] out of bounds. rock.c only
rejects a block-size shift > 17, so a crafted "ZF" Rock Ridge record can
set it below PAGE_SHIFT; the bug is reached by an ordinary read() of a
compressed file on such a mounted ISO9660 image.
Return the byte count relative to poffset and zero only
[poffset, PAGE_SIZE) of the first page, matching the decompression path.
The page-aligned case (poffset == 0) is unaffected.
