CVE-2026-64317: isofs: bound Rock Ridge symlink components to the SL record

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

isofs: bound Rock Ridge symlink components to the SL record

getsymlinkchunk() and the SL handling in parserockridgeinodeinternal() walk the variable-length components of a Rock Ridge "SL" (symbolic link) record. Each component is a two-byte header (flags, len) followed by len bytes of text, so it occupies slp->len + 2 bytes. Both loops read slp->len and advance to the next component, and getsymlinkchunk() additionally does memcpy(rpnt, slp->text, slp->len), but neither checks that the component lies within the SL record before dereferencing it.

A crafted SL record whose component declares a len that runs past the record (rr->len) therefore triggers an out-of-bounds read of up to 255 bytes. When the record sits at the tail of its backing buffer - for example a small kmalloc()ed continuation block reached through a CE record - the read crosses the allocation; getsymlinkchunk() then copies the out-of-bounds bytes into the symlink body returned to user space by readlink(), disclosing adjacent kernel memory.

ISO 9660 images are routinely mounted from untrusted removable media - desktop environments auto-mount them (e.g. via udisks2) without CAPSYSADMIN - so the record contents are attacker-controlled.

Reject any component that does not fit in the remaining record bytes before using it. In getsymlinkchunk() return NULL, like the existing output-buffer (plimit) checks, so a malformed record makes readlink() fail with -EIO rather than silently returning a truncated target; in parserockridgeinodeinternal() stop the inode-size walk.
