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

scsi: core: Fix a use-after-free

There are two .exitcmdpriv implementations. Both implementations use resources associated with the SCSI host. Make sure that these resources are still available when .exitcmdpriv is called by waiting inside scsiremovehost() until the tag set has been freed.

This commit fixes the following use-after-free:
