Hi Richard,

A carefully crafted squashfs filesystem can exhibit an inode size of 0xffffffff, as a consequence malloc() will do a zero allocation. Later in the function the inode size is again used for copying data. So an attacker can overwrite memory. Avoid the overflow by using the __builtin_add_overflow() helper.
