CVE-2026-90294CVE-2026-90294
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/isert: delay the final Login Response until the session is registered
isert_put_login_tx() puts the final Login Response on the wire before
__transport_register_session(), which iscsi_post_login_handler() reaches
only after iscsi_target_do_login() returns. An initiator that issues a
SCSI command as soon as it sees that response can have it executed against
an se_session whose se_tpg is still NULL, and the ib-comp-wq worker oopses
on the NULL dereference.
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc000000000f: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000078-0x000000000000007f]
