CVE-2026-46130

Estado: En análisisAlta (7.1)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dm-verity-fec: fix reading parity bytes split across blocks (take 3)

fec_decode_bufs() assumes that the parity bytes of the first RS codeword it decodes are never split across parity blocks.

This assumption is false. Consider v->fec->block_size == 4096 && v->fec->roots == 17 && fio->nbufs == 1, for example. In that case, each call to fec_decode_bufs() consumes v->fec->roots * (fio->nbufs << DM_VERITY_FEC_BUF_RS_BITS) = 272 parity bytes.

Considering that the parity data for each message block starts on a block boundary, the byte alignment in the parity data will iterate through 272*i mod 4096 until the 3 parity blocks have been consumed.

On the 16th call (i=15), the alignment will be 4080 bytes into the first block. Only 16 bytes remain in that block, but 17 parity bytes will be needed. The code reads out-of-bounds from the parity block buffer.

Fortunately this doesn't normally happen, since it can occur only for certain non-default values of fec_roots *and* when the maximum number of buffers couldn't be allocated due to low memory. For example with block_size=4096 only the following cases are affected:

Regardless, fix it by refactoring how the parity blocks are read.
