  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nscsi: qla2xxx: Unlink NVMe unsol ctx before freeing on LS reject error\n\nqla_nvme_xmt_ls_rsp() obtains uctx, which was linked into\nfcport-\u003eunsol_ctx_head by qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb() and is still linked\nwhen the NVMe transport calls back to transmit the LS response. On the\nerror (out:) path the function frees uctx with kfree() but never removes\nit from the list. This leaves a freed node in fcport-\u003eunsol_ctx_head: the\nnext list_add_tail() for that fcport writes through the freed node, and a\nsubsequent list_del() can corrupt the list or panic.\n\nUnlink uctx with list_del() before kfree() on the error path, matching the\nother free sites in qla_nvme_release_lsrsp_cmd_kref() and\nqla2xxx_process_purls_pkt(). qla2x00_rel_sp() in the failure path only\nreturns the SRB to its pool and does not invoke sp-\u003eput_fn, so the out:\npath is the sole free and uctx is always still linked there.",
