CVE-2025-40200
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Squashfs: reject negative file sizes in squashfs_read_inode()
Syskaller reports a "WARNING in ovl_copy_up_file" in overlayfs.
This warning is ultimately caused because the underlying Squashfs file system returns a file with a negative file size.
This commit checks for a negative file size and returns EINVAL.
