[PATCH] corrupted cramfs filesystems cause kernel oops
Steve Grubb's fzfuzzer tool (http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/ fsfuzzer-0.6.tar.gz) generates corrupt Cramfs filesystems which cause Cramfs to kernel oops in cramfs_uncompress_block(). The cause of the oops is an unchecked corrupted block length field read by cramfs_readpage(). This patch adds a sanity check to cramfs_readpage() which checks that the block length field is sensible. The (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1) size check is intentional, even though the uncompressed data is not going to be larger than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, gzip sometimes generates compressed data larger than the original source data. Mkcramfs checks that the compressed size is always less than or equal to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1. Of course Cramfs could use the original uncompressed data in this case, but it doesn't.
