"The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-50278 advisory.
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm cache: fix potential out-of-bounds
access on the first resume Out-of-bounds access occurs if the fast device is expanded unexpectedly before
the first-time resume of the cache table. This happens because expanding the fast device requires
reloading the cache table for cache_create to allocate new in-core data structures that fit the new size,
and the check in cache_preresume is not performed during the first resume, leading to the issue. Reproduce
steps: 1. prepare component devices: dmsetup create cmeta --table 0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0 dmsetup
create cdata --table 0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192 dmsetup create corig --table 0 524288 linear /dev/sdc
262144 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct 2. load a cache table of 512 cache
blocks, and deliberately expand the fast device before resuming the cache, making the in-core data
structures inadequate. dmsetup create cache --notable dmsetup reload cache --table 0 524288 cache
/dev/mapper/cmeta \ /dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0 dmsetup reload
cdata --table 0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192 dmsetup resume cdata dmsetup resume cache 3. suspend the
cache to write out the in-core dirty bitset and hint array, leading to out-of-bounds access to the dirty
bitset at offset 0x40: dmsetup suspend cache KASAN reports: BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in
is_dirty_callback+0x2b/0x80 Read of size 8 at addr ffffc90000085040 by task dmsetup/90 (...snip...) The
