Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: partitions: mac: fix handling of bogus partition table Fix several issues in partition probing: - The bailout for a bad partoffset must use put_dev_sector(), since the preceding read_part_sector() succeeded. - If the partition table claims a silly sector size like 0xfff bytes (which results in partition table entries straddling sector boundaries), bail out instead of accessing out-of-bounds memory. - We must not assume that the partition table contains proper NUL termination - use strnlen() and strncmp() instead of strlen() and strcmp().

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (< 5.4.291) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.235) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.179) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.129) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.79) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.16) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.13.4) • linux linux kernel 6.14
