Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-08-15 06:21 - Updated: 2026-08-17 06:18
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm era: fix out-of-bounds memory access for non-zero start sector
dm-era tracks writes in target-relative blocks, but era_map() calculates
the writeset block before applying the target offset. Tables with a
non-zero start sector can therefore pass an absolute mapped-device block
to metadata_current_marked().
If the absolute block is beyond the current writeset size,
writeset_marked() tests past the end of the in-core bitset. KASAN reports
this as a vmalloc-out-of-bounds access.
Apply the target offset before calculating the era block so writeset
lookups use the target-relative block number.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
