CVE-2023-7324
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: ses: Fix possible addl_desc_ptr out-of-bounds accesses Sanitize possible addl_desc_ptr out-of-bounds accesses in ses_enclosure_data_process().
Statement
The SES enclosure parser could read past the end of the additional descriptor buffer (page10) due to missing length checks. The fix passes max_desc_len into ses_process_descriptor(), adds per-branch minimum-length guards, and nulls addl_desc_ptr on failure, preventing OOB reads. Practical impact is local DoS during SES page parsing; triggering typically requires privileged access to SCSI enclosure controls.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
