CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Exploitability: 1.8 / Impact: 3.6
Source: NVD
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Fix the maximum minor value is blk_alloc_ext_minor()
ida_alloc_range(..., min, max, ...) returns values from min to max,
inclusive.
So, NR_EXT_DEVT is a valid idx returned by blk_alloc_ext_minor().
This is an issue because in device_add_disk(), this value is used in:
ddev->devt = MKDEV(disk->major, disk->first_minor);
and NR_EXT_DEVT is '(1 << MINORBITS)'.
So, should 'disk->first_minor' be NR_EXT_DEVT, it would overflow.
