Description
In the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted btrfs filesystem image and performing some operations can cause slab-out-of-bounds write access in __btrfs_map_block in fs/btrfs/volumes.c, because a value of 1 for the number of data stripes is mishandled.
A flaw was found in the implementation of the BTRFS file system code in the Linux kernel. An attacker, who is able to mount a crafted BTRFS filesystem and perform common filesystem operations, can possibly cause an out-of-bounds write to memory. This could lead to memory corruption or privilege escalation.
