Several error labels in\nqla2x00_mem_alloc() freed adapter members (elsrej.c, purex_dma_pool,\nflt, sfp_data, loop_id_map, async_pd, sf_init_cb, ex_init_cb, npiv_info)\nbut left the pointers dangling. qla2x00_mem_free() then freed them a\nsecond time. Worse, for the dma_pool members it issued\ndma_pool_free(ha->s_dma_pool, ...) after s_dma_pool had already been\ndestroyed and set to NULL at fail_s_dma_pool, dereferencing a NULL pool.\n\nClear each freed pointer (and its DMA handle) in the error labels so the\nsubsequent qla2x00_mem_free() skips them.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
