Subject: CVE-2023-53116: nvmet: avoid potential UAF in nvmet_req_complete()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

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.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-53116 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
