A peer on the same SAN fabric can keep non-SCSI SRBs (login, CT, NACK, NVMe LS) outstanding and drive firmware completions; FC is a non-routable fabric, so Adjacent is the highest defensible vector.\nAC:L - Firmware already completes several non-SCSI types (NVMe, bidirectional, task-management) via STATUS_TYPE, and the SCSI fast path was an unguarded fall-through. Once a STATUS_TYPE IOCB names a non-SCSI handle, the type confusion is deterministic, with no race or layout outside attacker influence.\nPR:N - Fibre Channel has no host authentication by default. Fabric login, nameserver CT, target-mode NACK, and I/O completions are handled in the HBA ISR/DPC with no Linux account or capability required on the victim.\nUI:N - Response-queue processing runs automatically from the HBA interrupt and qla_do_work paths. No victim mount, open, or other user action is required.\nS:U - The type confusion and wild-pointer access occur in the host kernel that owns the qla2xxx driver. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-authority impact.\nC:H - GET_CMD_SP(sp) overlays scsi_cmnd* with other SRB union members (bsg_job*, ctarg.iocb, ntfy, sa_ctl). Treating those live kernel pointers as scsi_cmnd yields wild reads of command and sense fields, a type-confusion primitive that can be leveraged for kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The same type confusion writes through the forged scsi_cmnd via scsi_set_resid and memset/memcpy of firmware sense data into cp->sense_buffer. Type confusion with those kernel writes is High integrity and can hijack control flow.\nA:H - Dereferencing the overlaid non-SCSI pointer as scsi_cmnd in interrupt/completion context causes a kernel oops or panic, matching related qla_chk_edif_rx_sa_delete_pending crashes on this path."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_dbg.c", "drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_isr.c"], "versions": [{"version": "dd30706e73b70d67e88fdaca688db7a3374fd5de", "lessThan": "9204fb0888374083be74f799049649a17eab4191", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "dd30706e73b70d67e88fdaca688db7a3374fd5de", "lessThan": "b7418198b45b327194b97f856fe8ea8daa91f3fd", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "dd30706e73b70d67e88fdaca688db7a3374fd5de", "lessThan": "8f0e31e7a41376abe7d6ca7cbee07fcf9de071e6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "dd30706e73b70d67e88fdaca688db7a3374fd5de", "lessThan": "e38041b47c29316ba79b645e2ae0b713d216b1db", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "dd30706e73b70d67e88fdaca688db7a3374fd5de", "lessThan": "e93aa3c5125d9a4352ac0fa8ba4a7f8f87881805", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "dd30706e73b70d67e88fdaca688db7a3374fd5de", "lessThan": "29f1f9ad9e354cd0b6e4f6fc75ba09162d6a04d9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "dd30706e73b70d67e88fdaca688db7a3374fd5de", "lessThan": "0f41d07d72f2245208c45374ca8d0a1846cad667", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_dbg.c", "drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_isr.c"], "versions": [{"version": "5.15", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "5.15", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.15.221", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.188", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.157", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.110", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3-rc1", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.221"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.188"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.157"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.110"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9204fb0888374083be74f799049649a17eab4191"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b7418198b45b327194b97f856fe8ea8daa91f3fd"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8f0e31e7a41376abe7d6ca7cbee07fcf9de071e6"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e38041b47c29316ba79b645e2ae0b713d216b1db"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e93aa3c5125d9a4352ac0fa8ba4a7f8f87881805"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/29f1f9ad9e354cd0b6e4f6fc75ba09162d6a04d9"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0f41d07d72f2245208c45374ca8d0a1846cad667"}], "title": "scsi: qla2xxx: Reject non-SCSI SRB on status IOCB fast path", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
