Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2021-03-16 13:35:12 UTC

An issue was discovered in Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK) before 20.01.01. If a PDU is sent to the iSCSI target with a zero length (but data is expected), the iSCSI target can crash with a NULL pointer dereference.

Comment 6 Hardik Vyas 2021-03-29 10:29:01 UTC

Statement:

* Ceph in Red Hat Enterprise Linux is built without SPDK.

* Red Hat OpenStack Platform deployments use the ceph package directly from the Ceph channel; the RHOSP ceph package will not be updated at this time.

* Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage (RHOCS) 4 shipped ceph package for the usage of RHOCS 4.2 only, that has reached End Of Life. The shipped version of ceph package is no longer used and supported with the release of RHOCS 4.3.
