Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
scsi: fnic: Fix crash in fnic_wq_cmpl_handler when FDMI times out<br />
<br />
When both the RHBA and RPA FDMI requests time out, fnic reuses a frame to<br />
send ABTS for each of them. On send completion, this causes an attempt to<br />
free the same frame twice that leads to a crash.<br />
<br />
Fix crash by allocating separate frames for RHBA and RPA, and modify ABTS<br />
logic accordingly.<br />
<br />
Tested by checking MDS for FDMI information.<br />
<br />
Tested by using instrumented driver to:<br />
<br />
- Drop PLOGI response<br />
- Drop RHBA response<br />
- Drop RPA response<br />
- Drop RHBA and RPA response<br />
- Drop PLOGI response + ABTS response<br />
- Drop RHBA response + ABTS response<br />
- Drop RPA response + ABTS response<br />
- Drop RHBA and RPA response + ABTS response for both of them
