An 842 repeat template copies the preceding eight-byte output block. The
decoder rejects a repeat only when no output has been produced. A
short-data operation can produce between one and seven bytes before a
repeat.
Such a stream makes the repeat copy read before the start of the output
buffer. Depending on the surrounding mapping, this can fault or bring
preceding memory into the decompressed data.
This is also reachable through zram's compressed writeback path. With 842
selected, targeted corruption of the compressed data on its backing device
to a short-data-then-repeat stream made a KASAN kernel report a
vmalloc-out-of-bounds read when zram read the page back.
Require at least one complete output block before accepting a repeat.
