Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-43413)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-43413). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: hisi_sas: Fix NULL pointer exception during user_scan()
user_scan() invokes updated sas_user_scan() for channel 0, and if
successful, iteratively scans remaining channels (1 to shost->max_channel)
via scsi_scan_host_selected() in commit 37c4e72b0651 ("scsi: Fix
sas_user_scan() to handle wildcard and multi-channel scans"). However,
hisi_sas supports only one channel, and the current value of max_channel is
- sas_user_scan() for channel 1 will trigger the following NULL pointer
exception:
