Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: target: core: Fix null-ptr-deref in target_alloc_device()

There is a null-ptr-deref issue reported by KASAN:

BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in target_alloc_device+0xbc4/0xbe0 [target_core_mod]
...
kasan_report+0xb9/0xf0
target_alloc_device+0xbc4/0xbe0 [target_core_mod]

do_one_initcall+0xdd/0x4e0
...
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e

In target_alloc_device(), if allocing memory for dev queues fails, then
dev will be freed by dev->transport->free_device(), but dev->transport
is not initialized at that time, which will lead to a null pointer
reference problem.

Fixing this bug by freeing dev with hba->backend->ops->free_device().

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: scsi: target: core: Corregir null-ptr-deref en target_alloc_device() KASAN ha informado de un problema de null-ptr-deref: ERROR: KASAN: null-ptr-deref en target_alloc_device+0xbc4/0xbe0 [target_core_mod] ... kasan_report+0xb9/0xf0 target_alloc_device+0xbc4/0xbe0 [target_core_mod] core_dev_setup_virtual_lun0+0xef/0x1f0 [target_core_mod] target_core_init_configfs+0x205/0x420 [target_core_mod] do_one_initcall+0xdd/0x4e0 ... entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e En target_alloc_device(), si falla la asignación de memoria para las colas dev, dev se liberará mediante dev->transport->free_device(), pero dev->transport no se inicializa en ese momento, lo que generará un problema de referencia de puntero nulo. Se soluciona este error liberando dev con hba->backend->ops->free_device().
