Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the `dm-ioctl` module. An improper pointer alignment in the `retrieve_status` function could lead to a buffer overflow, where data is written beyond the allocated buffer. Despite this, the vulnerability has no practical security implications as it requires root privileges to trigger, and standard library usage prevents accidental exploitation.
