Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-log: fix a bitset_size overflow on 32bit machines Commit c20e36b7631d ("dm log: fix out-of-bounds write due to region_count overflow") made sure that region_count could fit in an unsigned int. But the bitmap memory isn't allocated based on region_count. It uses bitset_size (a size_t variable). The first step of calculating bitset_size is to set it to region_count, rounded up to a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. If region_size is less than BITS_PER_LONG smaller than UINT_MAX, it will get rounded up to 2^32. On a 32bit architecture, this will make bitset_size wrap around to 0 and fail, despite region_count being valid. Since bitset_size gets divided by 8, it can hold any valid region_count. It just needs a special case to handle the rollover. If it is 0, the value rolled over, and bitset size should be set to the number of bytes needed to hold 2^32 bits.

But the bitmap memory isn\u0027t allocated based on\nregion_count. It uses bitset_size (a size_t variable). The first step of\ncalculating bitset_size is to set it to region_count, rounded up to a\nmultiple of BITS_PER_LONG. If region_size is less than BITS_PER_LONG\nsmaller than UINT_MAX, it will get rounded up to 2^32. On a 32bit\narchitecture, this will make bitset_size wrap around to 0 and fail,\ndespite region_count being valid.\n\nSince bitset_size gets divided by 8, it can hold any valid region_count.\nIt just needs a special case to handle the rollover. If it is 0, the\nvalue rolled over, and bitset size should be set to the number of bytes\nneeded to hold 2^32 bits."
