CVE-2024-50278

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

dm cache: fix potential out-of-bounds access on the first resume

Out-of-bounds access occurs if the fast device is expanded unexpectedly
before the first-time resume of the cache table. This happens because
expanding the fast device requires reloading the cache table for
cache_create to allocate new in-core data structures that fit the new
size, and the check in cache_preresume is not performed during the
first resume, leading to the issue.

Reproduce steps:

1. prepare component devices:

dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144"
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct

2. load a cache table of 512 cache blocks, and deliberately expand the
   fast device before resuming the cache, making the in-core data
   structures inadequate.

dmsetup create cache --notable
dmsetup reload cache --table "0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0"
dmsetup reload cdata --table "0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup resume cdata
dmsetup resume cache

3. suspend the cache to write out the in-core dirty bitset and hint
   array, leading to out-of-bounds access to the dirty bitset at offset
   0x40:

dmsetup suspend cache
