Summary
CVE-2021-31916 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.10.78.1-1
Details

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in listdevices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-device driver module in the Linux kernel before 5.12. A bound check failure allows an attacker with special user (CAPSYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
