{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2024-57929","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  dm array: fix releasing a faulty array block twice in dm_array_cursor_end  When dm_bm_read_lock() fails due to locking or checksum errors, it releases the faulty block implicitly while leaving an invalid output pointer behind. The caller of dm_bm_read_lock() should not operate on this invalid dm_block pointer, or it will lead to undefined result. For example, the dm_array_cursor incorrectly caches the invalid pointer on reading a faulty array block, causing a double release in dm_array_cursor_end(), then hitting the BUG_ON in dm-bufio cache_put().  Reproduce steps:  1. initialize a cache device  dmsetup create cmeta --table \"0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0\" dmsetup create cdata --table \"0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192\" dmsetup create corig --table \"0 524288 linear /dev/sdc $262144\" dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 dmsetup create cache --table \"0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \\ /dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0\"  2. wipe the second array block offline  dmsteup remove cache cmeta cdata corig mapping_root=$(dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=192 \\ 2\u003e/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 \"%u\\n\"') ablock=$(dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=$((4096*mapping_root+2056)) \\ 2\u003e/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 \"%u\\n\"') dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=4k count=1 seek=$ablock  3. try reopen the cache device  dmsetup create cmeta --table \"0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0\" dmsetup create cdata --table \"0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192\" dmsetup create corig --table \"0 524288 linear /dev/sdc $262144\" dmsetup create cache --table \"0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \\ /dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0\"  Kernel logs:  (snip) device-mapper: array: array_block_check failed: blocknr 0 != wanted 10 device-mapper: block manager: array validator check failed for block 10 device-mapper: array: get_ablock failed device-mapper: cache metadata: dm_array_cursor_next for mapping failed ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at drivers/md/dm-bufio.c:638!
