Slab Out-of-Bounds Vulnerability in Linux Kernel Affecting SCSI Interface

CVE-2023-53521

What is CVE-2023-53521?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's SCSI interface could lead to slab out-of-bounds access, potentially affecting system stability and data integrity. When the 'edev->components' field is zero, accessing members of 'edev->component[0]' is erroneous, leading to potential exploitation. This issue was resolved to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the robustness of memory management within the kernel.
