**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved, specifically in the scsi: qla2xxx driver. The issue arises from the commit a6dcfe08487e, which limits interrupt vectors to the number of CPUs. This change breaks vector allocation assumptions in certain functions, leading to a crash when the driver attempts to find a queue pair in the map. The driver should allocate enough vectors to provide every CPU with its own HW queue and handle reserved interrupts. The change fixes the crash on dual-core VMs and prevents unbalanced QP allocation. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
