Go to dashboardA local user who sends a command ending in a trailing percent character to the multipath daemon can trigger an out-of-bounds read. The attacker can expose unintended daemon memory or crash the daemon.

Systems running the device-mapper-multipath daemon, typically Linux hosts with multipath storage such as SAN-attached servers. The attacker must already have a local account on the machine. Systems without multipath configured may not run the daemon and can likely skip it; unknown whether the sources confirm this.

A flaw was found in device-mapper-multipath. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read by sending a command with a format string ending in a trailing percent character to the multipath daemon. This issue can allow the user to expose unintended daemon memory, leading to information disclosure, or cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
