Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-12 14:04:50 UTC
The libdm configuration file parser in libdm-config.c uses recursive descent parsing with no depth limit. A crafted LVM metadata  configuration with deeply nested structures causes uncontrolled recursion, exhausting the stack and crashing any LVM command that reads the metadata.
