Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: Fix WRITE_SAME No Data Buffer crash
In newer version of the SBC specs, we have a NDOB bit that indicates there
is no data buffer that gets written out. If this bit is set using commands
like "sg_write_same --ndob" we will crash in target_core_iblock/file's
execute_write_same handlers when we go to access the se_cmd->t_data_sg
because its NULL.
This patch adds a check for the NDOB bit in the common WRITE SAME code
because we don't support it. And, it adds a check for zero SG elements in
each handler in case the initiator tries to send a normal WRITE SAME with
no data buffer.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (< 5.4.294)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.238)
