SUSE-SU-2026:23160-1

This update for multipath-tools fixes the following issues:

Update to version 0.10.7~1+211+suse.18f1559.

Security issues fixed:

• kpartx: integer overflow in the GPT partition table size calculation can lead to heap OOB read via crafted USB device or disk image(bsc#1268145).
• kpartx: missing bounds check can lead to a DASD VOL1 unbounded array write via a crafted DASD disk with more than 256 consecutive format labels (bsc#1268144).

Other updates and bugfixes:

• Fix system with multipath failing to boot during first boot during the installation (bsc#1232063).
• Fix code that leads to is_bit_set_in_bitfield: bitfield overflow: 1 >= 0 message showing up in syslog (bsc#1255285).
• Version 0.10.7~1+211+suse.18f1559:
  • Fix ALUA asymmetric access state descriptions in multipathd logs, so that the same terms are used as by the kernel ("lba-dependent", "transitioning").
  • Don't set a hardware handler for bio-based multipath devices. The kernel rejects this anyway.
  • Fix WWID detection for legacy devices that use the older SCSI-2 VPD page 0x83 format for their device identifier.
  • Fix duplicate "checker timed out" log messages when log_checker_err is set to once. (bsc#1254094)
  • Avoid potential buffer overflows in the iet and datacore prioritizers.
  • iet prioritizer: avoid misleading error message with systemd 256 and newer, and properly use udev to derive path parameters. (gh#opensvc/multipath-tools#145)
• Version 0.10.6+201+suse.9f189e79:
  • libmultipath: reduce log level of "map X has no targets" (bsc#1257476)
• Version 0.10.6+200+suse.547788f4 (bsc#1257007):
  • kpartx: fix segfault when operating on regular files (bsc#1257244, bsc#1257153)
  • multipathd: print path offline message even without a checker (bsc#1254094)
  • Fix command descriptions in the multipathd man page.
  • Fix ISO C23 compatibility issue causing errors with new compilers.
  • Fix memory leak caused by not joining the "init unwinder" thread.
  • Fix memory leaks in kpartx.
  • Print the warning "setting scsi timeouts is unsupported for protocol" only once per protocol.
  • Make sure multipath-tools is compiled with the compiler flag -fno-strict-aliasing. (gh#opensvc/multipath-tools#130, bsc#1255285)
• Version 0.10.5+213+suse.04c3a0ac:
  • Log offline path state if "log_checker_err always" is set
  • mpathpersist: Fix REPORT CAPABILITIES output
• Version 0.10.5+190+suse.a9f87040:
  • CI: GitHub workflow updates. No code changes.
• _service: switched to tar_scm for git LFS.
• Version 0.10.5+125+suse.1ed79487:
  • Fixes from upstream 0.10.5 (see also NEWS.md) (bsc#1253260)
    • Improved the communication with udev and systemd by triggering uevents when path devices are added to or removed from multipath maps, or when multipathd reconfigure is executed after changing blacklist directives in multipath.conf.
    • Failed paths should be checked every polling_interval. In certain cases, this wouldn't happen, because the check interval wasn't reset by multipathd.
    • It could happen that multipathd would accidentally release a SCSI persistent reservation held by another node. Fix it.
    • After manually failing some paths and then reinstating them, sometimes the reinstated paths were immediately failed again by multipathd. Fix it.
    • Various minor fixes reported by coverity.
