multipath-tools 0.11.5, 2026/07

User-visible changes

• 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.

Bug fixes

• Fix WWID detection for legacy devices that use the older SCSI-2 VPD page
  0x83 format for their device identifier.
• kpartx: Fix an integer overflow in the GPT partition table size calculation.
  A crafted partition table with an extremely large number of partition entries
  could trigger the overflow.
• kpartx: Fix several issues in the DASD partition table reader that could be
  triggered by a maliciously crafted disk image.
• Fix duplicate "checker timed out" log messages when log_checker_err is
  set to once.
• Avoid potential buffer overflows in the iet and datacore prioritizers.
  Commit 4611f97.
• iet prioritizer: avoid misleading error message with systemd 256 and
  newer, and properly use udev to derive path parameters.
  Fixes #145.

CI

• Update the test_kpartx test script, and added it to the
  basic-build-and-ci workflow. Backport from 0.14.2.
