Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: mpt3sas: Fix use after free in _scsih_expander_node_remove() The function mpt3sas_transport_port_remove() called in
_scsih_expander_node_remove() frees the port field of the sas_expander
structure, leading to the following use-after-free splat from KASAN when
the ioc_info() call following that function is executed (e.g. when doing
rmmod of the driver module): [ 3479.371167] ==================================================================

[ 3479.943087] ================================================================== Fix this by introducing the local variable port_id to store the port ID
value before executing mpt3sas_transport_port_remove(). This local variable
is then used in the call to ioc_info() instead of dereferencing the freed
port structure.
