Summary
The luksmeta package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8, 9 and 10 and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 and 5 is affected. Incorrect boundary calculations and flawed overlap detection let new metadata entries be written beyond free space or over existing records on LUKS devices (CWE-1284). A local attacker with administrative privileges can corrupt stored encrypted payload data or existing metadata, which can make the data inaccessible. No exploitation is reported.

Description from the CNA
A flaw was found in luksmeta. A local attacker with administrative privileges can cause data corruption when saving metadata to a Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) device. Due to incorrect boundary calculations and flawed overlap detection, new metadata entries can be written beyond available free space or over existing records. This issue can corrupt stored encrypted payload data or existing metadata, potentially rendering the affected data inaccessible.
