GHSA-MXPF-W6J6-89W2
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-20 18:30 – Updated: 2025-11-14 18:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: smartpqi: Use is_kdump_kernel() to check for kdump
The smartpqi driver checks the reset_devices variable to determine whether special adjustments need to be made for kdump. This has the effect that after a regular kexec reboot, some driver parameters such as max_transfer_size are much lower than usual. More importantly, kexec reboot tests have revealed memory corruption caused by the driver log being written to system memory after a kexec.
Fix this by testing is_kdump_kernel() rather than reset_devices where appropriate.
