Summary

The Linux kernel's build_constructor_string() function in the dm-raid1 module does not reserve space for the NUL terminator after the maximum 20 decimal digits of a long long value. This can lead to a buffer overflow in sprintf(). The fix reserves additional space for the NUL terminator.

Risk Assessment

A buffer overflow in sprintf() can lead to kernel memory corruption, system crash, or potential code execution. However, this requires specific configuration values in dm-raid1.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that reserves space for the NUL in build_constructor_string(). Review dm-raid1 configurations for unusual parameter values.
