Summary

In the Linux kernel scsi: hpsa driver, on the IOACCEL2 reset path there is a DMA mapping leak. When phys_disk->in_reset is set, the function returns without undoing the resources acquired for the command. The fix adds the missing cleanup: unmapping the SG chain, unmapping the SCSI command, and dropping the outstanding IOACCEL command count.

Risk Assessment

DMA mapping leaks can lead to memory resource exhaustion, potentially causing driver or system failure.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing the fix for CVE-2026-72088.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: hpsa: Fix DMA mapping leak on IOACCEL2 reset path If phys_disk->in_reset is set, the function returns directly without undoing the resources acquired for the command. Add the missing error cleanup by unmapping the IOACCEL2 SG chain block when needed, unmapping the SCSI command, and dropping the outstanding IOACCEL command count before returning.
