[PATCH 1/2] nvme: bound ns descriptor header and body to identify buffer
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 08:30:47 EST
From: Hari Mishal <harimishal1@xxxxxxxxx>
nvme_identify_ns_descs() allocates a buffer and gives it to the
controller, which populates it and then iterates the buffer with
variable byte increments that vary by type and body size. But, there is
no bounds check inside the iteration itself except the loop bound
itself. Fix this by checking and stopping iteration if the next header
or its declared body would go past the buffer itself.
