      <title>CVE-2023-53456 — scsi: qla4xxx: Add length check when parsing nlattrs</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-53456</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;scsi: qla4xxx: Add length check when parsing nlattrs&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are three places that qla4xxx parses nlattrs:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- qla4xxx_set_chap_entry()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- qla4xxx_iface_set_param()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- qla4xxx_sysfs_ddb_set_param()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and each of them directly converts the nlattr to specific pointer of
structure without length checking. This could be dangerous as those
attributes are not validated and a malformed nlattr (e.g., length 0) could
result in an OOB read that leaks heap dirty data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add the nla_len check before accessing the nlattr data and return EINVAL if
the length check fails.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
