hey Omer, Upstream's solution[1] to handle this security problem was to disable extents > 1G in UDF, so that is what we backported for a security update. Does the UDF filesystem only allow 1 extent per file? If not, is it possible to change the patch to actually limit extent sizes instead of the overall size of the file?
