CVE-2026-93242

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the scsi: qla2xxx driver's __qla_consume_iocb() function consumed one too many response queue entries. This caused the wrong IOCB to be marked as processed and a legitimate firmware response to be silently dropped. The fix marks the head IOCB as processed and consumes only entry_count - 1 continuation IOCBs.

Risk Assessment

May lead to silent dropping of firmware responses and incorrect operation of QLogic-based storage arrays, potentially causing data loss or I/O failures in production environments.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the qla2xxx driver fix. If immediate update is not possible, consider limiting use of affected HBA cards.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: qla2xxx: Fix response queue over-consumption in __qla_consume_iocb() qla24xx_process_response_queue() advances ring_ptr past the head IOCB before dispatching, so by the time __qla_consume_iocb() runs, ring_ptr already points at the first continuation IOCB. The function however looped purex->entry_count times starting at ring_ptr. As entry_count includes the head, this consumed one entry too many: it stamped RESPONSE_PROCESSED on the next, unrelated IOCB and advanced the ring past it, silently dropping a legitimate firmware response. The head IOCB's signature was also never marked. Mark the head processed and account for it, then consume only the entry_count - 1 continuation IOCBs, matching __qla_copy_purex_to_buffer().
