Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: skip sufficiently large global buffers when resizing
z_erofs_gbuf_nrpages is advanced only after every global buffer has been
grown. If a resize fails after some buffers were enlarged, a retry
revisits those enlarged buffers.
Retrying the same size then returns -ENOMEM because alloc_pages_bulk()
has no pages to add and the unchanged return value is treated as a
failure. Retrying an intermediate size allocates a temporary pointer
array smaller than gbuf->nrpages and copies more existing pointers than
the array can hold.
Skip buffers that already satisfy the request. Once all remaining
buffers have caught up, advancing z_erofs_gbuf_nrpages again describes
the guaranteed minimum size across the pool.
