This update for multipath-tools fixes the following issues:
Update to version 0.9.8+292+suse.c0523c1.
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:
  • [Build 32.2] System with multipath fails to boot during first boot during the installation (bsc#1232063).
  • [Build 50.1] multipath btrfs i/o error on both Leap 15.6 and SLES 15 SP6 (bsc#1219289).
  • Fix code that leads to is bit set in bitfield: bitfield overflow: 1 >= 0 message showing up in syslog (bsc#1255285).
  • Version 0.9.8+266+suse.53479977 (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 0.9.8+247+suse.863ae86f:
  • Log offline path state if "log checker err always" is set
  • Version 0.9.8+246+suse.fb81edd2:
  • CI: GitHub workflow updates. No code changes.
  • Version 0.9.8+166+suse.95399ce1:
  • Backported fixes from upstream 0.9.9 ... 0.10.5 (bsc#1253260)
  • Updates to the built-in hardware table:
  • add some NVMe storage array (VASTData, Infinidat, HITACHI VSP)

  • Avoid a possible system hang during shutdown with queueing multipath maps.
  • 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.
  • Fixed the problem that, if there were multiple maps with deferred failback (failback value > 0 in multipath.conf), some maps might fail back later than configured.

  • Fixed a minor bug in the config file parser
  • Fixed minor issues detected by coverity.

  • Fixed bug that caused queueing to be always disabled if flushing a map failed (bug introduced in 0.9.8). (bsc#1229898)
  • Fixed output of multipath -t and multipath -T for the options force sync and retrigger tries. (bsc#1229898, gh#opensvc/multipath-tools#88)

  • Spelling fixes
  • Version 0.9.7+76+suse.5f857af:
  • Update to upstream 0.9.7 (jsc#PED-6464)
  • added max retries config option to limit SCSI retries
  • added auto resize config option to enable resizing multipath maps automatically
  • fixed memory and error handling for code using aio (marginal path code, directio path checker)
  • dropped modules-load.d/multipath.conf; replaced by a dependency on modprobe@dm-multipath.service (systemd >= 245: SLE15-SP3 and later only) and a softdep on sd mod for the SCSI device handlers (bsc#1217377)
  • On SLE/Leap suse-module-tools doesn't ship a scsi mod->sd mod softdep yet. Add it here, too. It will be overridden by s-m-t when it's added there.
