commit 01cfb7937a9af2abb1136c7e89fbf3fd92952956 upstream. Anatoly Trosinenko reports that a corrupted squashfs image can cause a kernel oops. It turns out that squashfs can end up being confused about negative fragment lengths. The regular squashfs_read_data() does check for negative lengths, but squashfs_read_metadata() did not, and the fragment size code just blindly trusted the on-disk value. Fix both the fragment parsing and the metadata reading code.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
