Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-29 07:01:50 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

block: avoid possible overflow for chunk_sectors check in blk_stack_limits()

In blk_stack_limits(), we check that the t->chunk_sectors value is a
multiple of the t->physical_block_size value.

However, by finding the chunk_sectors value in bytes, we may overflow
the unsigned int which holds chunk_sectors, so change the check to be
based on sectors.
