Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> scsi: lpfc: Fix buffer free/clear order in deferred receive path<br /> <br /> Fix a use-after-free window by correcting the buffer release sequence in<br /> the deferred receive path. The code freed the RQ buffer first and only<br /> then cleared the context pointer under the lock. Concurrent paths (e.g.,<br /> ABTS and the repost path) also inspect and release the same pointer under<br /> the lock, so the old order could lead to double-free/UAF.<br /> <br /> Note that the repost path already uses the correct pattern: detach the<br /> pointer under the lock, then free it after dropping the lock. The<br /> deferred path should do the same.
