Subject: CVE-2026-64053: block: don't overwrite bip_vcnt in bio_integrity_copy_user()
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 17:38:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026071909-CVE-2026-64053-29c0@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: don't overwrite bip_vcnt in bio_integrity_copy_user()
bio_integrity_add_page() already sets bip_vcnt to 1 for the bounce
segment. Overwriting it with nr_vecs breaks bip_vcnt <= bip_max_vcnt
on WRITE (bip_max_vcnt is 1), so the gap-merge checks in block/blk.h
read past the bip_vec[] flex array. On READ the read is in bounds
but lands on a saved user bvec instead of the bounce.
The line was added for split propagation, but bio_integrity_clone()
doesn't copy bip_vcnt and BIP_CLONE_FLAGS excludes BIP_COPY_USER.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64053 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
