Subject: CVE-2023-53729: soc: qcom: qmi_encdec: Restrict string length in decode

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

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

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

soc: qcom: qmi_encdec: Restrict string length in decode

The QMI TLV value for strings in a lot of qmi element info structures
account for null terminated strings with MAX_LEN + 1. If a string is
actually MAX_LEN + 1 length, this will cause an out of bounds access
when the NULL character is appended in decoding.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-53729 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:
