Then, the code aligns the \"outptr\" variable to the next 8-byte\n boundary:\n\toutptr = align_ptr(outptr);\n3. The alignment doesn't check overflow, so outptr could point past the\n buffer end\n4. The \"for\" loop is iterated again, it executes:\n\tremaining = len - (outptr - outbuf);\n5. If \"outptr\" points past \"outbuf + len\", the arithmetics wraps around\n and the variable \"remaining\" contains unusually high number\n6. With \"remaining\" being high, the code writes more data past the end of\n the buffer\n\nLuckily, this bug has no security implications because:\n1. Only root can issue device mapper ioctls\n2. The commonly used libraries that communicate with device mapper\n (libdevmapper and devicemapper-rs) use buffer size that is aligned to\n 8 bytes - thus, \"outptr = align_ptr(outptr)\" can't overshoot the input\n buffer and the bug can't happen accidentally"}, {"lang": "es", "value": "En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta:\n\ndm: corrige un desbordamiento de b\u00fafer en el procesamiento de ioctl\n\nTony Asleson (usando Claude) encontr\u00f3 un desbordamiento de b\u00fafer en dm-ioctl en la funci\u00f3n retrieve_status:\n\n1.
