CVE-2024-38559 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Linux kernel SCSI qedf driver. The driver allocated a kernel buffer sized according to a user-controlled count and copied that many bytes from userspace, then passed the buffer to kstrtouint() without ensuring that it contained a NUL terminator. Parsing a non-NUL-terminated buffer could cause kstrtouint() to read beyond the allocated buffer. The fix replaces memdup_user() with memdup_user_nul() so that the copied buffer is NUL-terminated.
