  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\ndm mirror: fix integer overflow in create_dirty_log()\nThe argument count calculation in create_dirty_log() performs\n`*args_used = 2 + param_count` before validating against argc. When a\nuser provides a param_count close to UINT_MAX via the device mapper\ntable string, this unsigned addition wraps around to a small value,\ncausing the subsequent `argc < *args_used` check to be bypassed.\nThe overflowed param_count is then passed as argc to dm_dirty_log_create(),\nwhere it can cause out-of-bounds reads on the argv array.\nFix by comparing param_count against argc - 2 before performing the\naddition, following the same pattern used by parse_features() in the\nsame file. Since argc >= 2 is already guaranteed, the subtraction is\nsafe.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's device mapper (dm mirror) component. A local user could exploit an integer overflow vulnerability in the create_dirty_log() function by providing a specially crafted device mapper table string. This could lead to out-of-bounds reads, potentially causing system instability or information disclosure." ],
