In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bcache: fix variable length array abuse in btree_iter
btreeiter is used in two ways: either allocated on the stack with a fixed size MAXBSETS, or from a mempool with a dynamic size based on the specific cache set. Previously, the struct had a fixed-length array of size MAX_BSETS which was indexed out-of-bounds for the dynamically-sized iterators, which causes UBSAN to complain.
This patch uses the same approach as in bcachefs's sortiter and splits the iterator into a btreeiter with a flexible array member and a btreeiterstack which embeds a btree_iter as well as a fixed-length data array.
