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

dm cache: fix out-of-bounds access to the dirty bitset when resizing

dm-cache checks the dirty bits of the cache blocks to be dropped when
shrinking the fast device, but an index bug in bitset iteration causes
out-of-bounds access.

Reproduce steps:

1. create a cache device of 1024 cache blocks (128 bytes dirty bitset)

dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144"
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct
dmsetup create cache --table "0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0"

2. shrink the fast device to 512 cache blocks, triggering out-of-bounds
access to the dirty bitset (offset 0x80)

dmsetup suspend cache
dmsetup reload cdata --table "0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup resume cdata
dmsetup resume cache

Fix by making the index post-incremented.
