Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: qla2xxx: Avoid double completion in async IOCB timeout qla2x00_async_iocb_timeout() tries to abort a timed-out async IOCB. When qla24xx_async_abort_cmd() fails, both the SRB_LOGIN_CMD path and the SRB_CTRL_VP/default path scan outstanding_cmds[] for the SRB and then call sp->done(sp, QLA_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT) unconditionally, without checking whether the SRB was actually found and removed. If the response ISR completes the same handle first, it removes the SRB under qp_lock_ptr and runs sp->done() -> complete(sp->comp). The submitter qla24xx_control_vp() wakes from wait_for_completion(), clears sp->comp, drops its reference and returns, reclaiming the on-stack completion. The timer reference keeps the SRB alive across the timeout handler, but not the submitter's stack. The timeout then issues a second sp->done() -> qla_ctrlvp_sp_done(), which evaluates "if (sp->comp) complete(sp->comp)"; with the pointer loaded before the submitter's NULL store, complete() writes into the freed stack frame, a use-after-free. Track whether this path removed the SRB from outstanding_cmds and only call sp->done() when it did, so the command is completed exactly once by whichever path owns it. This mirrors the sp_found guard already used in qla24xx_abort_iocb_timeout().

That is a SAN-network path, consistent with other qla2xxx FC-peer memory-corruption scores.\nAC:L - The peer controls both sides of the race by withholding the login/CT/NACK completion until the async timer fires, then posting it so the ISR removes the SRB while timeout still calls sp-\u003edone(). Abort failure is also attacker-driven via GFP_ATOMIC SRB exhaustion or ISP-abort from injected link errors.\nPR:N - Fabric login, name-server CT, and target-mode notify-ack run in driver ISR/DPC context with no Linux credential or capability check. FC-SP/EDIF is opt-in and rare, so a fabric peer needs no account on the victim host.\nUI:N - Discovery, PLOGI, and NACK IOCBs are posted automatically on link-up, RSCN, and inbound ELS. The async timer and response ISR then run without any victim mount, open, or administrator action.\nS:U - Double completion corrupts host-kernel SRB and completion state inside the qla2xxx driver. The impact stays in that kernel authority and is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary breakout.\nC:H - The extra sp-\u003edone() drops the SRB INIT kref twice so the timeout path later frees a mempool SRB still in use, a use-after-free that can disclose reused heap contents. The CTRL_VP path also complete()s a reclaimed on-stack completion.\nI:H - The same mempool SRB use-after-free and complete() write into a freed stack frame are kernel write primitives. Reuse of the freed SRB can hijack control flow rather than producing only a clean timeout.\nA:H - Double completion of a live SRB is a use-after-free that oopses or panics the host, as in the original switch-CT crash in qla2x00_chk_ms_status from the response ISR, taking down storage on the adapter."
