kernel: nvmet-auth: reject short AUTH_RECEIVE buffers

A flaw was found in the nvmet-auth component of the Linux kernel. A remote attacker, by sending a specially crafted AUTHRECEIVE buffer to an NVMe-oF NVM Express over Fabrics target with in-band authentication enabled, can trigger a heap out-of-bounds write. This vulnerability arises because the...
