Summary

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

scsi: scsi_debug: Fix type in min_t to avoid stack OOB

Change min_t() to use type "u32" instead of type "int" to avoid stack out of bounds. With min_t() type "int" the values get sign extended and the larger value gets used causing stack out of bounds.
