Vulnerability Description

A data corruption vulnerability has been identified in the luksmeta utility when used with the LUKS1 disk encryption format. An attacker with the necessary permissions can exploit this flaw by writing a large amount of metadata to an encrypted device.

Devices using the LUKS formats other than LUKS1 are not affected by this issue.
