CVE-2026-89857

CriticalCVSS 9.8
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the scsi qla2xxx driver's qla_nvme_ls_reject_iocb() function lacks qpair locking when allocating and sending NVMe LS reject, potentially leading to concurrent access and corruption of the request ring state, causing duplicated or dropped commands.

Risk Assessment

May lead to command loss or duplication, affecting data integrity and system stability. In NVMe-FC environments, may cause I/O errors.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that takes qp_lock_ptr around the two unlocked callers. Monitor I/O errors in NVMe-FC systems.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: qla2xxx: Hold qpair lock when sending NVMe LS reject qla_nvme_ls_reject_iocb() allocates from and advances the request ring through __qla2x00_alloc_iocbs() (which assumes the hardware_lock is held) and qla2x00_start_iocbs() (which advances the ring and rings the request-in doorbell), but takes no lock itself. Two of its callers invoke it without the producer lock held: - qla_nvme_xmt_ls_rsp(), the NVMe-FC .xmt_ls_rsp transport callback, on its error path, and - qla2xxx_process_purls_pkt(), run from the purex work/DPC context. Both use ha->base_qpair, whose qp_lock_ptr is hardware_lock, so they can run concurrently with normal I/O submission on the base ring and corrupt the ring producer state, leading to duplicated or dropped commands. The third caller, qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb(), runs inside qla24xx_process_response_queue() with the qpair lock already held and is safe; that is also why the lock cannot be taken inside the helper itself (it would recursively re-acquire hardware_lock on the response path). Take qp_lock_ptr around the two unlocked callers and document the helper as caller-locked. Both run in process context, so spin_lock_irqsave() is used and nothing in the locked region sleeps.
