CVE-2025-21832

MEDIUM

Linux Kernel 5.17.1-6.1.128, 6.2.0-6.6.77, 6.7.0-6.12.13, 6.13.0-6.13.2 - Denial of Service via iov_iter_revert

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: don't revert iter for -EIOCBQUEUED blkdev_read_iter() has a few odd checks, like gating the position and count adjustment on whether or not the result is bigger-than-or-equal to zero (where bigger than makes more sense), and not checking the return value of blkdev_direct_IO() before doing an iov_iter_revert(). The latter can lead to attempting to revert with a negative value, which when passed to iov_iter_revert() as an unsigned value will lead to throwing a WARN_ON() because unroll is bigger than MAX_RW_COUNT. Be sane and don't revert for -EIOCBQUEUED, like what is done in other spots.
