Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-07-29 15:30 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:31

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

null_blk: fix validation of block size

Block size should be between 512 and PAGE_SIZE and be a power of 2. The current check does not validate this, so update the check.

Without this patch, null_blk would Oops due to a null pointer deref when loaded with bs=1536 [1].

[axboe: remove unnecessary braces and != 0 check]

Severity

5.5 (Medium)

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.
