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

efivarfs: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in efivarfs_d_compare

Observed on kernel 6.6 (present on master as well):

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in memcmp+0x98/0xd0

If dentry->d_name.len < EFI_VARIABLE_GUID_LEN , 'guid' can become
negative, leadings to oob. The issue can be triggered by parallel
lookups using invalid filename:

  T1			T2
  lookup_open
   ->lookup
    simple_lookup
     d_add
     // invalid dentry is added to hash list

			lookup_open
			 d_alloc_parallel
			  __d_lookup_rcu
			   __d_lookup_rcu_op_compare
			    hlist_bl_for_each_entry_rcu
			    // invalid dentry can be retrieved
			     ->d_compare
			      efivarfs_d_compare
			      // oob

Fix it by checking 'guid' before cmp.
