What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dm raid: fix accesses beyond end of raid member array

On dm-raid table load (using raid_ctr), dm-raid allocates an array

rs->devs[rs->raid_disks] for the raid device members. rs->raid_disks

is defined by the number of raid metadata and image tupples passed

into the target's constructor.

In the case of RAID layout changes being requested, that number can be

different from the current number of members for existing raid sets as

defined in their superblocks. Example RAID layout changes include:

- raid1 legs being added/removed

- raid4/5/6/10 number of stripes changed (stripe reshaping)

- takeover to higher raid level (e.g. raid5 -> raid6)

When accessing array members, rs->raid_disks must be used in control

loops instead of the potentially larger value in rs->md.raid_disks.

Otherwise it will cause memory access beyond the end of the rs->devs

array.

Fix this by changing code that is prone to out-of-bounds access.

Also fix validate_raid_redundancy() to validate all devices that are

added. Also, use braces to help clean up raid_iterate_devices().

The out-of-bounds memory accesses was discovered using KASAN.

This commit was verified to pass all LVM2 RAID tests (with KASAN

enabled).
