"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nscsi: lpfc: Handle mailbox timeouts in lpfc_get_sfp_info\n\nThe MBX_TIMEOUT return code is not handled in lpfc_get_sfp_info and the\nroutine unconditionally frees submitted mailbox commands regardless of\nreturn status. The issue is that for MBX_TIMEOUT cases, when firmware\nreturns SFP information at a later time, that same mailbox memory region\nreferences previously freed memory in its cmpl routine.\n\nFix by adding checks for the MBX_TIMEOUT return code. During mailbox\nresource cleanup, check the mbox flag to make sure that the wait did not\ntimeout. If the MBOX_WAKE flag is not set, then do not free the resources\nbecause it will be freed when firmware completes the mailbox at a later\ntime in its cmpl routine.\n\nAlso, increase the timeout from 30 to 60 seconds to accommodate boot\nscripts requiring longer timeouts."

"value": "AV:L - The only path to the vulnerable function is a read of the sysfs attribute /sys/class/scsi_host/hostN/lpfc_xcvr_data, which requires local system access. The remote FC RDP ELS path uses the separate async lpfc_get_rdp_info() and is not affected.\nAC:L - The attacker creates the timeout condition themselves: the sysfs handler has no serialization or rate limiting, and all mailbox commands are drained serially from an unbounded FIFO, so many concurrent readers push individual waits past the 30-second window. Timeouts are demonstrably reachable in ordinary operation, as the fix itself raises the timeout to 60s for boot scripts.\nPR:L - The attribute is declared DEVICE_ATTR_RO (mode 0444) in the unconditional lpfc_hba_attrs[] group, so any local unprivileged account can read it with no capability check in lpfc_xcvr_data_show(). Only a basic local user account is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the sysfs read themselves; no victim action or cooperation is required.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel heap and driver structures within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The freed LPFC_MBOXQ_t and its DMA buffer are recycled while the HBA still writes SFP page data into them, and the stale completion path reads pointers and a function pointer out of reallocated memory, giving a use-after-free read primitive over arbitrary reclaimed kernel objects.\nI:H - The mbox is memset and re-issued while still on psli->mboxq (list corruption), then double-freed via mempool_free plus lpfc_sli4_mbox_cmd_free on reclaimed memory, yielding arbitrary-pointer free and an indirect call through mbox_cmpl read from attacker-groomed heap — exploitable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The use-after-free, double free, and doubly-linked-list corruption of the mailbox queue reliably produce an oops or panic, and the attacker can repeat the sysfs read to retrigger it at will."
