NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libperf package and not the libperf package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: target: Reset t_task_cdb pointer in error case

If allocation of cmd->t_task_cdb fails, it remains NULL but is later dereferenced in the 'err' path.

In case of error, reset NULL t_task_cdb value to point at the default fixed-size buffer.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
