Descriptions

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

bcache: fix variable length array abuse in btree_iter

btree_iter is used in two ways: either allocated on the stack with a
fixed size MAX_BSETS, or from a mempool with a dynamic size based on the
specific cache set. Previously, the struct had a fixed-length array of
size MAX_BSETS which was indexed out-of-bounds for the dynamically-sized
iterators, which causes UBSAN to complain.

This patch uses the same approach as in bcachefs's sort_iter and splits
the iterator into a btree_iter with a flexible array member and a
btree_iter_stack which embeds a btree_iter as well as a fixed-length
data array.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: bcache: corrige el abuso de matriz de longitud variable en btree_iter btree_iter se usa de dos maneras: ya sea asignado en la pila con un tamaño fijo MAX_BSETS, o desde un mempool con un tamaño dinámico basado en el conjunto de caché específico. Anteriormente, la estructura tenía una matriz de longitud fija de tamaño MAX_BSETS que estaba indexada fuera de los límites para los iteradores de tamaño dinámico, lo que provoca que UBSAN se queje. Este parche utiliza el mismo enfoque que en sort_iter de bcachefs y divide el iterador en un btree_iter con un miembro de matriz flexible y un btree_iter_stack que incorpora un btree_iter así como una matriz de datos de longitud fija.
