Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: libiscsi: Initialize iscsi_conn->dd_data only if memory is allocated
In case of an ib_fast_reg_mr allocation failure during iSER setup, the
machine hits a panic because iscsi_conn->dd_data is initialized
unconditionally, even when no memory is allocated (dd_size == 0). This
leads invalid pointer dereference during connection teardown.
Fix by setting iscsi_conn->dd_data only if memory is actually allocated.
Panic trace:
------------
iser: iser_create_fastreg_desc: Failed to allocate ib_fast_reg_mr err=-12
iser: iser_alloc_rx_descriptors: failed allocating rx descriptors / data buffers
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffffffffffff8
RIP: 0010:swake_up_locked.part.5+0xa/0x40
