  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  scsi: qla2xxx: Clamp MSI-X derived queue counts to avoid truncation  ha-\u003emsix_count is u16, but ha-\u003emax_req_queues, ha-\u003emax_rsp_queues and ha-\u003emax_qpairs are u8. Deriving the queue count as \"ha-\u003emax_req_queues = ha-\u003emsix_count - 1\" therefore truncates: a board (or a misconfigured/malicious hot-plugged device) advertising 257 MSI-X vectors yields msix_count - 1 == 256, which truncates to 0. An MSI-X count of 1 zeroes it as well, and in target mode the subsequent \"ha-\u003emax_req_queues--\" then underflows 0 to 255.  When the count is 0, qla2x00_alloc_queues() calls kzalloc_objs(struct req_que *, 0), which returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR. That is not NULL, so the allocation check passes and the following \"ha-\u003ereq_q_map[0] = req\" dereferences ZERO_SIZE_PTR, corrupting memory or crashing the kernel.  Add qla_calc_queue_count() to clamp the derived value into [1, QLA_MAX_QUEUES - 1] so it always fits in u8 and is never zero, and use it at all three derivation sites (qla25xx_iospace_config(), qla83xx_iospace_config() and qla24xx_enable_msix()). Also guard the target-mode decrement so it cannot reintroduce a zero (which would in turn underflow max_qpairs).",
