DescriptionNVD

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

ata: ahci: Match EM_MAX_SLOTS with SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS

This happens because sata_pmp_init_links() initialize link->pmp up to SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS while em_priv is declared as 8 elements array.

I can't find the maximum Enclosure Management ports specified in AHCI spec v1.3.1, but "12.2.1 LED message type" states that "Port Multiplier Information" can utilize 4 bits, which implies it can support up to 16 ports. Hence, use SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS as EM_MAX_SLOTS to resolve the issue.
