Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
scsi: mpt3sas: Fix use after free in _scsih_expander_node_remove()<br />
<br />
The function mpt3sas_transport_port_remove() called in<br />
_scsih_expander_node_remove() frees the port field of the sas_expander<br />
structure, leading to the following use-after-free splat from KASAN when<br />
the ioc_info() call following that function is executed (e.g. when doing<br />
rmmod of the driver module):<br />

<br />
Fix this by introducing the local variable port_id to store the port ID<br />
value before executing mpt3sas_transport_port_remove(). This local variable<br />
is then used in the call to ioc_info() instead of dereferencing the freed<br />
port structure.
