Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: Revert "scsi: qla2xxx: Perform lockless command completion in abort path"
This reverts commit 0367076b0817d5c75dfb83001ce7ce5c64d803a9.
The commit being reverted added code to __qla2x00_abort_all_cmds() to
call sp->done() without holding a spinlock. But unlike the older code
below it, this new code failed to check sp->cmd_type and just assumed
TYPE_SRB, which results in a jump to an invalid pointer in target-mode
with TYPE_TGT_CMD:
