Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ses: Fix possible addl_desc_ptr out-of-bounds accesses
Sanitize possible addl_desc_ptr out-of-bounds accesses in ses_enclosure_data_process().
Statement
The SES enclosure parser could read past the end of the additional descriptor buffer (page10) due to missing length checks. The fix passes max_desc_len into ses_process_descriptor(), adds per-branch minimum-length guards, and nulls addl_desc_ptr on failure, preventing OOB reads. Practical impact is local DoS during SES page parsing; triggering typically requires privileged access to SCSI enclosure controls.
