Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53059)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in create_log_context() and dm-log bitset handling when processing a crafted device-mapper mirror target configuration with an oversized region count. A local user can create a crafted mirror target to cause a denial of service.

The issue is triggered when region_count overflows 32 bits, causing bitsets to be allocated smaller than required and later accessed with indices derived from the full region space.
