Reference to a device in device-mapper table contains offset in sectors. If the sector_t is 32bit integer (CONFIG_LBDAF is not set), then several device-mapper targets can overflow this offset and validity check is then performad on wrong offset and wrong table is activated. See for example (on 32bit without CONFIG_LBDAF) this overflow: # dmsetup create test --table "0 2048 linear /dev/sdg 4294967297" # dmsetup table test 0 2048 linear 8:96 1 In this patch I tried to add check for this problem to dm-linear and dm-crypt, but I am sure there are more places and I am not sure this is the proper way. Should we use uint64_t in DM internally for device offset instead? There are probably some internal calculations in dm-table.c that can overflow as well. NOTE: it is a RFC patch that is incomplete (more targets need fixes).
