Subject: CVE-2023-54064: ipmi:ssif: Fix a memory leak when scanning for an adapter
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipmi:ssif: Fix a memory leak when scanning for an adapter
The adapter scan ssif_info_find() sets info->adapter_name if the adapter
info came from SMBIOS, as it's not set in that case. However, this
function can be called more than once, and it will leak the adapter name
if it had already been set. So check for NULL before setting it.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-54064 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:
