Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 5.14.0-503.34.1.el9 5
Description The Linux kernel contains a flaw within the qla2xxx SCSI driver related to the bsg done() function. Specifically, certain routines in qla bsg.c incorrectly call bsg done() in both success and failure scenarios, leading to a double-free condition. This can result in a kernel panic, as demonstrated by observed system crashes and page fault errors. The issue stems from a lack of proper validation before invoking bsg done().
Recommendations Update the Linux kernel to version 5.14.0-503.34.1.el9 5 or a later version to address this issue.
