Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound via the sqfs_inode_size() function. An attacker can carefully craft a squashfs filesystem that can exhibit an extremely large inode size and overflow the calculation in sqfs_inode_size(). As a consequence, the squashfs driver will read from wrong locations.
