CVE-2023-52429: dm_table_create in drivers/md/dm-table.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.4 can attempt to (in alloc_targets) allocate more than INT_MAX…
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.24% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: linux (Debian:10) 4.19.316-1; linux-5.10 (Debian:10) 5.10.216-1~deb10u1; linux (Debian:11) 5.10.216-1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to linux (Debian:10) 4.19.316-1; linux-5.10 (Debian:10) 5.10.216-1~deb10u1; linux (Debian:11) 5.10.216-1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
dm_table_create in drivers/md/dm-table.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.4 can attempt to (in alloc_targets) allocate more than INT_MAX bytes, and crash, because of a missing check for struct dm_ioctl.target_count.
