CVE-2023-53282

Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—

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

scsi: lpfc: Fix use-after-free KFENCE violation during sysfs firmware write

During the sysfs firmware write process, a use-after-free read warning is logged from the lpfc_wr_object() routine:

The driver accessed wr_object pointer data, which was initialized into mailbox payload memory, after the mailbox object was released back to the mailbox pool.

Fix by moving the mailbox free calls to the end of the routine ensuring that we don't reference internal mailbox memory after release.
