Subject: [PATCH 2/3] commands: md: fix OOB read when mmapping
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 09:56:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260112085617.2952747-2-a.fatoum@barebox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260112085617.2952747-1-a.fatoum@barebox.org>
md -s /dev/mmappable.device will read out-of-bounds if the byte count to
read exceeds the device size.
Limit the size read from the memmap to fix this.
