Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: scsi_debug: Fix type in min_t to avoid stack OOB

Change min_t() to use type "u32" instead of type "int" to avoid stack out
of bounds. With min_t() type "int" the values get sign extended and the
larger value gets used causing stack out of bounds.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
