Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm cache: fix out-of-bounds access to the dirty bitset when resizing dm-cache checks the dirty bits of the cache blocks to be dropped when shrinking the fast device, but an index bug in bitset iteration causes out-of-bounds access. Reproduce steps: 1. create a cache device of 1024 cache blocks (128 bytes dirty bitset) dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0" dmsetup create cdata --table "0 131072 linear /dev/
