CVE-2024-49994

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

block: fix integer overflow in BLKSECDISCARD

I independently rediscovered

	commit 22d24a544b0d49bbcbd61c8c0eaf77d3c9297155
	block: fix overflow in blk_ioctl_discard()

but for secure erase.

Same problem:

	uint64_t r[2] = {512, 18446744073709551104ULL};
	ioctl(fd, BLKSECDISCARD, r);

will enter near infinite loop inside blkdev_issue_secure_erase():

	a.out: attempt to access beyond end of device
	loop0: rw=5, sector=3399043073, nr_sectors = 1024 limit=2048
	bio_check_eod: 3286214 callbacks suppressed

CWE-190 Integer Overflow or Wraparound

The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
