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

nvme-multipath: fix underflow in ANA log bounds checks

The number of ANA groups advertised through Identify Controller sizes the ANA log buffer. The ANA log header and group descriptors independently supply the number of groups and namespace IDs to parse.

Both bounds checks subtract an untrusted object size from analogsize before comparing the current offset. If the object is larger than the buffer, the sizet subtraction underflows and lets the parser read beyond analogbuf.

Check the current offset before the first subtraction and compare each object size with the remaining buffer instead. This rejects inconsistent ANA data before dereferencing a truncated group descriptor or walking an oversized namespace ID array.
