Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-09-16 11:16 - Updated: 2026-09-16 15:18
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Hold vport reference in qla24xx_report_id_acquisition()
In the format 1 path, the virtual port is located on ha->vp_list while
holding vport_slock, but the lock is dropped before vp is used:
qla_update_host_map() is called and VP_IDX_ACQUIRED/REGISTER_FC4_NEEDED/
REGISTER_FDMI_NEEDED are set on vp. No reference is taken across that
window, so a concurrent qla24xx_deallocate_vp_id() can tear the vport
down and free it, leading to a use-after-free.
Take a vport reference (vref_count) under vport_slock when the matching
vp is found, and drop it after the last use of
vp. qla24xx_deallocate_vp_id() waits for vref_count to reach zero before
unlinking and freeing the vport, so the pointer stays valid. This
matches the reference idiom already used by the other ha->vp_list
traversals.
