NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-obs-build package and not the kernel-obs-build package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.11 through 5.10.16, as used by Xen. To service requests to the PV backend, the driver maps grant references provided by the frontend. In this process, errors may be encountered. In one case, an error encountered earlier might be discarded by later processing, resulting in the caller assuming successful mapping, and hence subsequent operations trying to access space that wasn't mapped. In another case, internal state would be insufficiently updated, preventing safe recovery from the error. This affects drivers/block/xen-blkback/blkback.c.
