Reference to a device in device-mapper table contains offset in sectors. If the sector_t is 32bit integer (CONFIG_LBDAF is not set), then several device-mapper targets can overflow this offset and validity check is then performed on a wrong offset and a wrong table is activated. See for example (on 32bit without CONFIG_LBDAF) this overflow: # dmsetup create test --table "0 2048 linear /dev/sdg 4294967297" # dmsetup table test 0 2048 linear 8:96 1 This patch adds explicit check for overflow if the offset is sector_t type.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
