Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
scsi: target: iscsi: Fix use-after-free in iscsit_dec_session_usage_count()<br />
<br />
In iscsit_dec_session_usage_count(), the function calls complete() while<br />
holding the sess->session_usage_lock. Similar to the connection usage count<br />
logic, the waiter signaled by complete() (e.g., in the session release<br />
path) may wake up and free the iscsit_session structure immediately.<br />
<br />
This creates a race condition where the current thread may attempt to<br />
execute spin_unlock_bh() on a session structure that has already been<br />
deallocated, resulting in a KASAN slab-use-after-free.<br />
<br />
To resolve this, release the session_usage_lock before calling complete()<br />
to ensure all dereferences of the sess pointer are finished before the<br />
waiter is allowed to proceed with deallocation.
