Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Handle mailbox timeouts in lpfc_get_sfp_info
The MBX_TIMEOUT return code is not handled in lpfc_get_sfp_info and the
routine unconditionally frees submitted mailbox commands regardless of
return status. The issue is that for MBX_TIMEOUT cases, when firmware
returns SFP information at a later time, that same mailbox memory region
references previously freed memory in its cmpl routine.
Fix by adding checks for the MBX_TIMEOUT return code. During mailbox
resource cleanup, check the mbox flag to make sure that the wait did not
timeout. If the MBOX_WAKE flag is not set, then do not free the resources
because it will be freed when firmware completes the mailbox at a later
time in its cmpl routine.
Also, increase the timeout from 30 to 60 seconds to accommodate boot
scripts requiring longer timeouts.
