Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in fec_decode_bufs() in dm-verity-fec when decoding parity bytes split across parity blocks. A local user can trigger the vulnerable code path to disclose sensitive information.

The issue occurs only for certain non-default fec_roots values and when the maximum number of buffers cannot be allocated due to low-memory conditions.
