Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: add check that partition length needs to be aligned with block size Before calling add partition or resize partition, there is no check
on whether the length is aligned with the logical block size.
If the logical block size of the disk is larger than 512 bytes,
then the partition size maybe not the multiple of the logical block size,
and when the last sector is read, bio_truncate() will adjust the bio size,
resulting in an IO error if the size of the read command is smaller than
the logical block size.If integrity data is supported, this will also
result in a null pointer dereference when calling bio_integrity_free.
En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: bloque: agregar verifique que la longitud de la partición debe estar alineada con el tamaño del bloque Antes de llamar a agregar partición o cambiar el tamaño de la partición, no se verifica si la longitud está alineada con el tamaño del bloque lógico. Si el tamaño del bloque lógico del disco es mayor que 512 bytes, entonces el tamaño de la partición tal vez no sea el múltiplo del tamaño del bloque lógico, y cuando se lea el último sector, bio_truncate() ajustará el tamaño de la biografía, lo que resultará en un error de E/S si el tamaño del comando de lectura es menor que el tamaño del bloque lógico. Si se admiten datos de integridad, esto también resultará en una desreferencia del puntero nulo al llamar a bio_integrity_free.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's block subsystem, where a NULL pointer dereference occurs if partitions are created or resized with a size that is not a multiple of the logical block size. This flaw allows a privileged attacker to cause a denial of service.

Chih-Yen Chang discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain data structure fields when parsing lease contexts, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information. Quentin Minster discovered that a race condition existed in the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
