Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2021-47427 (Linux). CVSS 9.8 → 7.8 (NVD).
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.
