CVE-2023-53213 (published 2025-09-15 15:15:47.900000+00:00)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: brcmfmac: slab-out-of-bounds read in brcmf_get_assoc_ies()

Fix a slab-out-of-bounds read that occurs in kmemdup() called from
brcmf_get_assoc_ies().
The bug could occur when assoc_info->req_len, data from a URB provided
by a USB device, is bigger than the size of buffer which is defined as
WL_EXTRA_BUF_MAX.

Add the size check for req_len/resp_len of assoc_info.

Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
