Summary

In the Linux kernel, the dm-crypt module has an issue with modifying data when using authenticated encryption. To prevent invalid tag generation, data is first copied into a clone bio and then encrypted inside the clone.

Risk Assessment

Data modification during write can lead to device corruption or data loss, especially when using O_DIRECT.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that copies data before encryption.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-crypt: don't modify the data when using authenticated encryption It was said that authenticated encryption could produce invalid tag when the data that is being encrypted is modified [1]. So, fix this problem by copying the data into the clone bio first and then encrypt them inside the clone bio. This may reduce performance, but it is needed to prevent the user from corrupting the device by writing data with O_DIRECT and modifying them at the same time.
