| Name | CVE-2022-49147 |
| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: Fix the maximum minor value is blk_alloc_ext_minor() ida_alloc_range(..., min, max, ...) returns values from min to max, inclusive. So, NR_EXT_DEVT is a valid idx returned by blk_alloc_ext_minor(). This is an issue because in device_add_disk(), this value is used in: ddev->devt = MKDEV(disk->major, disk->first_minor); and NR_EXT_DEVT is '(1 << MINORBITS)'. So, should 'disk->first_minor' be NR_EXT_DEVT, it would overflow. |
