CVE-2023-53582 (published 2025-10-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: brcmfmac: ensure CLM version is null-terminated to prevent stack-out-of-bounds

Fix a stack-out-of-bounds read in brcmfmac that occurs
when 'buf' that is not null-terminated is passed as an argument of
strreplace() in brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds(). This buffer is filled with
a CLM version string by memcpy() in brcmf_fil_iovar_data_get().
Ensure buf is null-terminated.

Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
