CVE-2026-64053

block: don't overwrite bip_vcnt in bio_integrity_copy_user()

Published Jul 19, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

block: don't overwrite bip_vcnt in bio_integrity_copy_user()

bio_integrity_add_page() already sets bip_vcnt to 1 for the bounce
segment. Overwriting it with nr_vecs breaks bip_vcnt <= bip_max_vcnt
on WRITE (bip_max_vcnt is 1), so the gap-merge checks in block/blk.h
read past the bip_vec[] flex array. On READ the read is in bounds
but lands on a saved user bvec instead of the bounce.

The line was added for split propagation, but bio_integrity_clone()
doesn't copy bip_vcnt and BIP_CLONE_FLAGS excludes BIP_COPY_USER.
