CVE-2024-50279 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's device mapper cache (dm-cache) subsystem. It involves an out-of-bounds memory access to the dirty bitset when resizing the cache device. The flaw is due to an index bug during bitset iteration while shrinking the fast device, which can lead to memory corruption. The issue has been fixed by correcting the index increment logic.
