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/…
