UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21957: Medium severity ubuntu/linux vulnerability

Q: Which systems are exposed to this issue?

The issue affects the qla1280 SCSI driver when it is compiled with DEBUG_QLA1280 enabled and its debug level is set above 2. The listed Ubuntu kernel packages include standard, AWS, Azure, GCP, and FIPS variants.

Q: What conditions are required to trigger the failure?

An attacker or local user needs the ability to cause the qla1280 driver's affected debug path to execute while ql_debug_level is greater than 2. The vulnerable configuration specifically requires a kernel built with DEBUG_QLA1280 enabled.

Q: What is the impact if the issue is triggered?

The driver can dereference a null pointer and cause a kernel oops. The supplied severity vector indicates an availability impact, with no confidentiality or integrity impact stated.

Published Apr 1, 2025

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: qla1280: Fix kernel oops when debug level > 2 A null dereference or oops exception will eventually occur when qla1280.c driver is compiled with DEBUGQLA1280 enabled and qldebuglevel > 2. I think its clear from the code that the intention here is sgdmalen(s) not length of sgnext(s) when printing the debug info.

DescriptionSeverityAffected Software

Frequently Asked Questions

Which systems are exposed to this issue?

The issue affects the qla1280 SCSI driver when it is compiled with DEBUG_QLA1280 enabled and its debug level is set above 2. The listed Ubuntu kernel packages include standard, AWS, Azure, GCP, and FIPS variants.

What conditions are required to trigger the failure?

An attacker or local user needs the ability to cause the qla1280 driver's affected debug path to execute while ql_debug_level is greater than 2. The vulnerable configuration specifically requires a kernel built with DEBUG_QLA1280 enabled.

What is the impact if the issue is triggered?

The driver can dereference a null pointer and cause a kernel oops. The supplied severity vector indicates an availability impact, with no confidentiality or integrity impact stated.
