CVE-2026-72086
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: xen: scsiback: Free the command tag on the TMR submit-failure path
scsiback_device_action() obtains a command tag in scsiback_get_pend_req() and submits a task-management request with target_submit_tmr(). When target_submit_tmr() fails it returns < 0 and scsiback jumps to the err: label, which sends a response but frees nothing, leaking the tag.
Impact: a pvSCSI guest can leak the command tags of a LUN's session, stopping the LUN, by issuing VSCSIIF_ACT_SCSI_ABORT or RESET requests whenever target_submit_tmr() fails.
transport_generic_free_cmd() cannot be used here. By the time target_submit_tmr() returns an error it has already run __target_init_cmd() (so se_cmd->cmd_kref is one, not zero), and on its target_get_sess_cmd() error path it has freed se_cmd->se_tmr_req via core_tmr_release_req() while leaving SCF_SCSI_TMR_CDB set and the pointer dangling. Letting the command release run target_free_cmd_mem() would then double-free se_tmr_req.

Use the same helper, which returns just the tag, on this path too.
