UBUNTU-CVE-2025-71235: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-azure vulnerability

Q: Who is realistically exposed to this issue?

Systems using an affected Ubuntu kernel package and the qla2xxx SCSI driver are exposed. The reported failure occurred during repeated driver module load/unload testing while a fabric scan was in progress.

Q: What must occur for exploitation or impact?

The vulnerability requires local access and low privileges, with no user interaction required. The relevant condition is unloading the qla2xxx module while its fabric scan is still in progress.

Q: What is the likely impact?

The reported impact is a system crash, resulting in a denial of service. The supplied severity vector indicates no confidentiality or integrity impact.

Q: What can be done if an update cannot be applied immediately?

Avoid unloading the qla2xxx module while a fabric scan may be active, particularly in automated or repeated load/unload test workflows.

There was a device discovery/fabric scan in progress. A module unload was issued which set the UNLOADING flag. As part of the discovery, after receiving an interrupt a work queue was scheduled (which involved a work to be queued). Since the UNLOADING flag is set, the work item was not allocated and the mapped memory had to be freed. The free occurred in interrupt context leading to system crash. Delay the driver unload until the fabric scan is complete to avoid the crash.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is realistically exposed to this issue?

Systems using an affected Ubuntu kernel package and the qla2xxx SCSI driver are exposed. The reported failure occurred during repeated driver module load/unload testing while a fabric scan was in progress.

What must occur for exploitation or impact?

The vulnerability requires local access and low privileges, with no user interaction required. The relevant condition is unloading the qla2xxx module while its fabric scan is still in progress.

What is the likely impact?

The reported impact is a system crash, resulting in a denial of service. The supplied severity vector indicates no confidentiality or integrity impact.

What can be done if an update cannot be applied immediately?

Avoid unloading the qla2xxx module while a fabric scan may be active, particularly in automated or repeated load/unload test workflows.
