CVE-2023-52979 is fixed in 20 products on 1 platform, first by ALAS2023-2023-132, released March 11, 2023. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: squashfs: harden sanity check in squashfs_read_xattr_id_table While mounting a corrupted filesystem, a signed integer '*xattr_ids' can become less than zero. This leads to the incorrect computation of 'len' and 'indexes' values which can cause null-ptr-deref in copy_bio_to_actor() or out-of-bounds accesses in the next sanity checks inside squashfs_read_xattr_id_table(). Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
