Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm btree remove: assign new_root only when removal succeeds
remove_raw() in dm_btree_remove() may fail due to IO read error
(e.g. read the content of origin block fails during shadowing),
and the value of shadow_spine::root is uninitialized, but
the uninitialized value is still assign to new_root in the
end of dm_btree_remove().
For dm-thin, the value of pmd->details_root or pmd->root will become
an uninitialized value, so if trying to read details_info tree again
out-of-bound memory may occur as showed below:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x3fdcb14c8d7520
CPU: 4 PID: 515 Comm: dmsetup Not tainted 5.13.0-rc6
