[PATCH 2/2] zram: fix out-of-bounds access in read_block_state()

Longlong Xia <[email protected]>
Newsgroups gmane.linux.block,gmane.linux.kernel,gmane.linux.kernel.stable
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Longlong Xia <[email protected]>

read_block_state() calculates nr_pages before taking dev_lock. If the
device is reset and reinitialized with a smaller disksize before lock
acquisition, nr_pages still describes the old table. The subsequent
loop can then call slot_lock() past the end of the newly allocated
table.

Read disksize after acquiring dev_lock and checking that the device is
initialized. The read lock then keeps the table and its bound stable for
the duration of the scan.
