CVE-2025-38695
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: lpfc: Check for hdwq null ptr when cleaning up lpfc_vport structure If a call to lpfc_sli4_read_rev() from lpfc_sli4_hba_setup() fails, the resultant cleanup routine lpfc_sli4_vport_delete_fcp_xri_aborted() may occur before sli4_hba.hdwqs are allocated. This may result in a null pointer dereference when attempting to take the abts_io_buf_list_lock for the first hardware queue. Fix by adding a null ptr check on phba->sli4_hba.hdwq and early return because this situation means there must have been an error during port initialization.

Esto puede resultar en una desreferencia de puntero nulo al intentar tomar el abts_io_buf_list_lock para la primera cola de hardware. Solución añadiendo una comprobación de puntero nulo en phba->sli4_hba.hdwq y un retorno anticipado porque esta situación significa que debe haber habido un error durante la inicialización del puerto."
