When a\nuser provides a param_count close to UINT_MAX via the device mapper\ntable string, this unsigned addition wraps around to a small value,\ncausing the subsequent `argc < *args_used` check to be bypassed.\n\nThe overflowed param_count is then passed as argc to dm_dirty_log_create(),\nwhere it can cause out-of-bounds reads on the argv array.\n\nFix by comparing param_count against argc - 2 before performing the\naddition, following the same pattern used by parse_features() in the\nsame file. Since argc >= 2 is already guaranteed, the subtraction is\nsafe.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-190"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/17a08791d428885d00e510864283a7b839792368","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/249c831183fb806c8e3b14c7c4c1d2fb68cf37fb","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/35f6b3281efd44d19110574663bc17a610bc73b9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/47dad9eea75d33212d3d2cea10e7ed6a1bfc0713","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4c788c6f921b22f9b6c3f316c4a071c05683e7de"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:36:28.938604137+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-46023","score":0.00133,"percentile":0.0283,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
