kernel: memory leak when merging buffers in SCSI IO vectors

It was found that in the Linux kernel through v4.14-rc5, biomapuseriov and biounmapuser in 'block/bio.c' do unbalanced pages refcounting if IO vector has small consecutive buffers belonging to the same page. bioaddpcpage merges them into one, but the page reference is never dropped, causing a...

kernel: pipe: iovec overrun leading to memory corruption

It was found that the Linux kernel's implementation of vectored pipe read and write functionality did not take into account the I/O vectors that were already processed when retrying after a failed atomic access operation, potentially resulting in memory corruption due to an I/O vector array...
