| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `qla2xxx` block SCSI generic (bsg) interface. This vulnerability, a double free, occurs because certain vendor-specific handlers incorrectly call the `bsg_job_done` function on both successful and failed operation paths. A local user could exploit this to trigger memory corruption, leading to a kernel crash and a Denial of Service (DoS). There is also a theoretical risk of local privilege escalation due to the memory corruption.
