Vulnerability CVE-2021-47427


Published: 2024-05-21

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

scsi: iscsi: Fix iscsi_task use after free

Commit d39df158518c ("scsi: iscsi: Have abort handler get ref to conn")
added iscsi_get_conn()/iscsi_put_conn() calls during abort handling but
then also changed the handling of the case where we detect an already
completed task where we now end up doing a goto to the common put/cleanup
code. This results in a iscsi_task use after free, because the common
cleanup code will do a put on the iscsi_task.

This reverts the goto and moves the iscsi_get_conn() to after we've checked
if the iscsi_task is valid.
