In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: fix buffer copy overflow of ztailpacking feature I got some KASAN report as below: [ 46.959738] ================================================================== [ 46.960430] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in z_erofs_shifted_transform+0x2bd/0x370 [ 46.960430] Read of size 4074 at addr ffff8880300c2f8e by task fssum/188 ...

So if ztailpacking is used, the second part of an uncompressed tail pcluster may not be ``rq->pageofs_out``.
