CVE-2024-39482 HIGH

Published: 2024-07-05 | Last Modified: 2026-08-04 | Status: Modified

Description

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.

Additional Descriptions (1)

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.
