Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.50
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's scsi: qla2xxx component can cause a system crash due to a NULL pointer dereference. The issue occurs when performing NPIV and FW reset, leading to a kernel mode supervisor read access error. The command completion was done early while aborting commands in the driver unload path but outside the lock, causing a race condition and system crash. To avoid this, the command completion should be done early in the unload path but within the lock.
Recommendations
Update to Linux kernel version 6.6.50 or later to resolve the issue.
