In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/isert: delay the final Login Response until the session is registered
isert_put_login_tx() puts the final Login Response on the wire before __transport_register_session(), which iscsi_post_login_handler() reaches only after iscsi_target_do_login() returns. An initiator that issues a SCSI command as soon as it sees that response can have it executed against an se_session whose se_tpg is still NULL, and the ib-comp-wq worker oopses on the NULL dereference.

Delay the final Login Response instead. isert_get_rx_pdu() runs from iscsi_target_rx_thread() after conn->rx_login_comp, completed by iscsi_post_login_handler() after __transport_register_session(); iscsi-TCP and cxgbit already take PDUs from that thread, isert alone does not. The buffers are still posted first, so the initiator's first command does not meet an empty receive queue and nothing depends on RNR flow control, and the header and payload live in isert_conn, not in the struct iscsi_login that iscsi_target_nego_release() frees first.
Over rxe, 400 login cycles per run, the oops appeared in 10 of 20 unpatched runs and in none of 20 runs with this patch. An initiator that never waits is handled by the next patch.
Not tested: iWARP, discovery sessions over iSER, and real HCAs.
