TIMELINE May 2 Reserved by Linux May 2 Published (CNA: Linux) Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2023-53116 (Linux). CVSS 9.8 → 7.8 (NVD).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet: avoid potential UAF in nvmet_req_complete() An nvme target ->queue_response() operation implementation may free the request passed as argument. Such implementation potentially could result in a use after free of the request pointer when percpu_ref_put() is called in nvmet_req_complete(). Avoid such problem by using a local variable to save the sq pointer before calling __nvmet_req_complete(), thus avoiding dereferencing the req pointer after that function call.
