Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dm-pcache: bound the logical key offset from persistent memory

cache_key_decode() takes a key's logical off from the cache device and
later indexes req_key_tree->subtrees[] by it in get_subtree(). An off
past the device forms a subtree pointer outside the array, which
rb_insert() writes through during replay.

Reject a key of zero length, or whose off+len (computed in 64 bits)
exceeds the device size, before it is used.
