Vulnerability Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

erofs: fix unsigned underflow in z_erofs_lz4_handle_overlap()

Some crafted images can have illegal (!partial_decoding &&
m_llen < m_plen) extents, and the LZ4 inplace decompression path
can be wrongly hit, but it cannot handle (outpages < inpages)
properly: "outpages - inpages" wraps to a large value and
the subsequent rq->out[] access reads past the decompressed_pages
array.

However, such crafted cases can correctly result in a corruption
report in the normal LZ4 non-inplace path.

Let's add an additional check to fix this for backporting.

Reproducible image (base64-encoded gzipped blob):
