A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's dm-pcache component. A local attacker with administrative privileges (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) could manipulate on-disk cache metadata to provide invalid geometry fields. This manipulation could lead to an out-of-bounds read and write, potentially causing memory corruption and impacting system stability.
