CVE-2026-89574: dm array: validate array block headers on read
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm array: validate array block headers on read
array_block_check() validates blocknr and csum and nothing else, while
node_check(), next to it, has bounded the structural fields since both
were written. dm_array_cursor_next() takes its loop bound from the
on-disk nr_entries and element_at() is unguarded pointer arithmetic, so
a count larger than the block holds keeps the cursor in one block while
the index grows past it and the read walks off the dm-bufio buffer --
dm_cache_load_mappings() drives it once per cache block at activation.
Check the header against itself: reject a zero value_size, require
max_entries to equal calc_max_entries() for that value_size and block
size, and require nr_entries to fit. Equality rather than an upper bound,
since a count below the real capacity trips BUG_ON() in fill_ablock() and
trim_ablock(). Metadata dm-array writes satisfies all three.
