What it is

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

block: ublk: extending queue_size to fix overflow

When validating drafted SPDK ublk target, in a case that

assigning large queue depth to multiqueue ublk device,

ublk target would run into a weird incorrect state. During

rounds of review and debug, An overflow bug was found

in ublk driver.

In ublk_cmd.h, UBLK_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH is 4096 which means

each ublk queue depth can be set as large as 4096. But

when setting qd for a ublk device,

sizeof(struct ublk_queue) + depth * sizeof(struct ublk_io)

will be larger than 65535 if qd is larger than 2728.

Then queue_size is overflowed, and ublk_get_queue()

references a wrong pointer position. The wrong content of

ublk_queue elements will lead to out-of-bounds memory

access.

Extend queue_size in ublk_device as "unsigned int".
