GHSA-9X2F-7MF8-F579
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-04 18:30 – Updated: 2025-12-04 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: nvme-fc: Ensure ->ioerr_work is cancelled in nvme_fc_delete_ctrl()
nvme_fc_delete_assocation() waits for pending I/O to complete before returning, and an error can cause ->ioerr_work to be queued after cancel_work_sync() had been called. Move the call to cancel_work_sync() to be after nvme_fc_delete_association() to ensure ->ioerr_work is not running when the nvme_fc_ctrl object is freed. Otherwise the following can occur:
