Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm: fix a buffer overflow in ioctl
processing Tony Asleson (using Claude) found a buffer overflow in dm-ioctl in the function
retrieve_status: 1. The code in retrieve_status checks that the output string fits into the output buffer
and writes the output string there 2. Then, the code aligns the "outptr" variable to the next 8-byte
boundary: outptr = align_ptr(outptr); 3. The alignment doesn't check overflow, so outptr could point past
the buffer end 4. The "for" loop is iterated again, it executes: remaining = len - (outptr - outbuf); 5.
If "outptr" points past "outbuf + len", the arithmetics wraps around and the variable "remaining" contains
unusually high number 6. With "remaining" being high, the code writes more data past the end of the buffer
Luckily, this bug has no security implications because: 1. Only root can issue device mapper ioctls 2. The
commonly used libraries that communicate with device mapper (libdevmapper and devicemapper-rs) use buffer
size that is aligned to 8 bytes - thus, "outptr = align_ptr(outptr)" can't overshoot the input buffer and
the bug can't happen accidentally (CVE-2026-46294)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18613.613.56 or later.
