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

    scsi: qedi: Fix crash while reading debugfs attribute

    The qedi_dbg_do_not_recover_cmd_read() function invokes sprintf() directly
    on a __user pointer, which results into the crash.

    To fix this issue, use a small local stack buffer for sprintf() and then
    call simple_read_from_buffer(), which in turns make the copy_to_user()
    call.
