CVE-2024-47725

[REJECTED CVE] An issue has been identified in the Linux Kernel's dm-verity module, which ensures integrity verification for block devices. This issue arises because dm-verity does not crash when an I/O error occurs. In certain scenarios, an attacker could exploit this behavior by crafting sectors that trigger errors, such as through the Write Uncorrectable command. This could potentially subvert security mechanisms, as some programs may behave unpredictably or fail to handle the resulting I/O errors (EIO) correctly, leading to unintended system behavior.

This CVE has been rejected upstream: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2024102352-stable-eats-61b2@gregkh/T/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/2024102340-REJECTED-8982@gregkh/T/

Red Hat has also evaluated this issue and determined that it does not meet the criteria to be classified as a security vulnerability. This assessment is based on the issue not posing a significant security risk, being a result of misconfiguration or usage error, or falling outside the scope of security considerations.
