CVE Details

Release Date:	2024-08-17
Impact:	Moderate	What is this?

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nscsi: lpfc: Revise lpfc_prep_embed_io routine with proper endian macro usages\nOn big endian architectures, it is possible to run into a memory out of\nbounds pointer dereference when FCP targets are zoned.\nIn lpfc_prep_embed_io, the memcpy(ptr, fcp_cmnd, sgl->sge_len) is\nreferencing a little endian formatted sgl->sge_len value. So, the memcpy\ncan cause big endian systems to crash.\nRedefine the *sgl ptr as a struct sli4_sge_le to make it clear that we are\nreferring to a little endian formatted data structure. And, update the\nroutine with proper le32_to_cpu macro usages.
