Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
dm integrity: fix memory corruption when tag_size is less than digest size<br />
<br />
It is possible to set up dm-integrity in such a way that the<br />
"tag_size" parameter is less than the actual digest size. In this<br />
situation, a part of the digest beyond tag_size is ignored.<br />
<br />
In this case, dm-integrity would write beyond the end of the<br />
ic->recalc_tags array and corrupt memory. The corruption happened in<br />
integrity_recalc->integrity_sector_checksum->crypto_shash_final.<br />
<br />
Fix this corruption by increasing the tags array so that it has enough<br />
padding at the end to accomodate the loop in integrity_recalc() being<br />
able to write a full digest size for the last member of the tags<br />
array.
