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.
