UBUNTU-CVE-2026-89847: Use After Free

Published Sep 16, 2026

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: qla2xxx: Avoid double completion in async IOCB timeout qla2x00asynciocbtimeout() tries to abort a timed-out async IOCB. When qla24xxasyncabortcmd() fails, both the SRBLOGINCMD path and the SRBCTRLVP/default path scan outstandingcmds[] for the SRB and then call sp->done(sp, QLAFUNCTIONTIMEOUT) unconditionally, without checking whether the SRB was actually found and removed. If the response ISR completes the same handle first, it removes the SRB under qplockptr and runs sp->done() -> complete(sp->comp). The submitter qla24xxcontrolvp() wakes from waitforcompletion(), clears sp->comp, drops its reference and returns, reclaiming the on-stack completion. The timer reference keeps the SRB alive across the timeout handler, but not the submitter's stack. The timeout then issues a second sp->done() -> qlactrlvpspdone(), which evaluates "if (sp->comp) complete(sp->comp)"; with the pointer loaded before the submitter's NULL store, complete() writes into the freed stack frame, a use-after-free. Track whether this path removed the SRB from outstandingcmds and only call sp->done() when it did, so the command is completed exactly once by whichever path owns it. This mirrors the spfound guard already used in qla24xxabortiocbtimeout().

Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Compensating control

    In qla2xxx qla24xx_async_abort_cmd(), track whether the SRB was found and removed from outstanding_cmds[], and call sp->done(sp, QLA_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT) only when it was actually removed, for both the SRB_LOGIN_CMD and SRB_CTRL_VP/default paths.
