Summary

CVE-2023-52429 is a newly disclosed vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel version up to 6.7.4. The issue lies within the dm_table_create function in the dm-table.c file of the Linux kernel driver. An attacker can exploit this flaw by trying to allocate more memory than the maximum limit (INT_MAX) in the alloc_targets function. Consequently, the system may crash due to a missing check for struct dm_ioctl.target_count. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a denial-of-service condition. System administrators are recommended to upgrade their Linux kernel to a patched version to mitigate this risk.
