CVE-2026-129490
littlefs through 2.11.3 Type Confusion in lfs_dir_traverse via lfs_migrate
Description
littlefs through 2.11.3, when built with LFS_MIGRATE, contains a type confusion vulnerability in lfs_dir_traverse() that treats a stack lfs_diskoff struct as an lfs_attr array. Attackers can supply a crafted littlefs v1 image whose metadata is read as LFS_FROM_USERATTRS during migration, causing out-of-bounds stack reads and process crashes.
