Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-integrity: fix infinite loop on discard with large tag size
When integrity_metadata handles a discard, it fills a buffer with
DISCARD_FILLER and writes it over the tags, max_blocks blocks at a
time. If the kmalloc fails, the buffer is the on-stack array
checksums_onstack and max_size is set to HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE. So if the
tag size is larger than HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE, max_blocks is zero, bi_size
is never decremented and the loop never terminates.
Fix this by using sizeof(checksums_onstack) as max_size. The array has
MAX_TAG_SIZE bytes since commit b93b6643e9b5 ("dm integrity: fix a
crash with unusually large tag size"), so max_blocks is at least 1.
