Ask for the minimum and\ndata_start ends up seven bytes past the end. Callers add it to\ndata_size, and ctl_ioctl() copies that much back to userspace:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in _copy_to_user+0xad/0xd0\n  Read of size 312 at addr ffff8880169e4c00 by task repro-dm/140\n   ctl_ioctl+0x5e3/0xcb0\n   dm_ctl_ioctl+0x25/0x40\n  allocated 305-byte region [ffff8880169e4c00, ffff8880169e4d31)\n\nA DM_LIST_DEVICES with data_size set to 305 is enough to hit it, and the\nseven bytes that leak are whatever sat next to the allocation.\n\nClamp data_start to the buffer size.\n\nNote that this is not a security bug because the out-of-bounds read can\nonly be triggered by root.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5680b6fb3054677d4ee65d3baba24b649f1b430e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/725b49c689bbb29ef740b0d6b5ea9390baa9a695","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/98195e822343a656b92e235847ab3e72b1a3f920","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9b3fcf519d370df94a56f3b272d9eddffffa5be8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e5c3f3d8935ecc64c962fb66e6a86dbf79218f61"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-23T16:39:28.036610720+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-99063","score":0.00168,"percentile":0.06107,"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).
