Using the highest reasonable SAN deployment, attacker-controlled FC frames from another host on the storage fabric make this network-reachable.\nAC:L - The bug is a deterministic double free once the ELS direct-command error path is hit after kref_put(), and the attacker can plausibly drive repeated logins/logouts/session teardown plus resource pressure to make qla2x00_start_sp() fail. No uncontrollable race is required for the memory corruption once that path is reached.\nPR:N - The FC target path processes remote ELS events before any Linux credential or capability check on the victim, so the attacker does not need a local account or kernel privilege. Fabric access/zoning is environmental network access, not privileges on the vulnerable system.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required; remote FC protocol activity can drive the target-mode session deletion and LOGO path. The sysfs path requires an admin write, but it is not the highest-severity reachable path.\nS:U - The corruption occurs inside the same kernel/driver security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other separate security boundary. A kernel compromise or crash remains unchanged scope.\nC:H - This is kernel heap double-free/use-after-free style memory corruption of an fc_port object. Under the required overestimation rule, such corruption can be leveraged for information disclosure through heap reuse/read primitives.\nI:H - A double free of a kernel heap object can corrupt allocator state or enable controlled reuse of freed memory, making arbitrary write or control-flow compromise defensible. Therefore integrity impact is High.\nA:H - Related qla2xxx fcport double-free reports show immediate SLUB/kernel BUG crashes, and this fix removes another remaining double-free error path. A remotely triggerable kernel crash is High availability impact." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_iocb.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "4895009c4bb72f71f2e682f1e7d2c2d96e482087", "lessThan": "d48ea85463f5b34f7b92ea0a13eddf1ab993da7b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "4895009c4bb72f71f2e682f1e7d2c2d96e482087", "lessThan": "c0b7da13a04bd70ef6070bfb9ea85f582294560a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "7861213201838480dc222634c56fb6db113d010d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "3b9d72442adfbc9ddb0f76dd1b03977b3a578b16", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "ef23850940d9a52c39936d27254824ccf5e9b6bd", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "6c6bf6cacf9461f8d301cfac4f9c175d80cbcc63", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "cd10dee1f07a782f5aa05703c55299ca86a85ee4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b03e626bd6d3f0684f56ee1890d70fc9ca991c04", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "282877633b25d67021a34169c5b5519b1d4ef65e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "f85af9f1aa5e2f53694a6cbe72010f754b5ff862", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "9b43d2884b54d415caab48878b526dfe2ae9921b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "846fb9f112f618ec6ae181d8dae7961652574774", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5.15.154", "lessThan": "5.16", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.84", "lessThan": "6.2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.24", "lessThan": "6.7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.7.12", "lessThan": "6.8", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.8.3", "lessThan": "6.9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_iocb.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.9", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.9", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.9", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.0", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.9" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15.154" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1.84" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.24" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7.12" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8.3" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15.154" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1.84" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.24" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7.12" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d48ea85463f5b34f7b92ea0a13eddf1ab993da7b" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c0b7da13a04bd70ef6070bfb9ea85f582294560a" } ], "title": "scsi: qla2xxx: Completely fix fcport double free", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
