Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-28 10:53:26 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: libiscsi: Validate the ITT reflected in a Reject PDU

A Reject PDU carries a copy of the header it rejects, and
iscsi_handle_reject() takes the ITT out of that copy to find the task to
clean up:

      memcpy(&rejected_pdu, data, sizeof(struct iscsi_hdr));
      ...
      task = iscsi_itt_to_task(conn, rejected_pdu.itt);

That value is whatever the target put there. iscsi_itt_to_task() bounds
the index against cmds_max and checks nothing else, so any task in the
pool can be named, and iscsi_nop_out_rsp() then completes it.

An index that has never been used gives a NULL task->conn: the pool is
zeroed at session setup and conn is assigned only when a task is
allocated. If the task was used and returned, iscsi_complete_task() hits
its WARN_ON_ONCE(task->state == ISCSI_TASK_FREE) and the refcount
underflows. An in-flight SCSI command is completed as successful - a 1
MiB read returned 1048576 with none of its buffer written and no
warning.

Validate the reflected ITT the way iscsi_itt_to_ctask() validates a
command ITT, and require the task to be in flight and not a SCSI
command.
