Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2021-47565
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description:
The issue is related to the mpt3sas component of the Linux kernel, which is vulnerable to a resource management error. This error can cause a kernel panic when the driver attempts to access the `sas address` field of a `sas target` object without checking if the object is NULL. The vulnerability occurs when a drive is removed while the driver is looping over the shost's sdev list, resulting in the `sas target` object being freed but its `sdev` object remaining intact.
Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
