Summary

In the Linux kernel, the dm-integrity module has a bug that causes a leak of uninitialized kernel memory. When the hash size is less than the device's tuple size, dm-integrity is supposed to zero the remaining space, but due to a bug the zeroing does not work. The fix addresses this issue.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential disclosure of sensitive data from kernel memory, which could compromise information confidentiality.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that ensures proper zeroing of the remaining space in dm-integrity.
