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

block: validate user space vectors during extraction

The bio-based drivers don't necessarily check the alignment split, and
stacking block drivers don't always handle a misalignment detected after
submitting the bio. Validate user vectors against the device's
dma_alignment as the bio is built from the iov_iter, rejecting
misaligned early with -EINVAL.
