NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150500_55_91-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150500_55_91-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

scsi: pm80xx: Set phy->enable_completion only when we wait for it

pm8001_phy_control() populates the enable_completion pointer with a stack address, sends a PHY_LINK_RESET / PHY_HARD_RESET, waits 300 ms, and returns. The problem arises when a phy control response comes late. After 300 ms the pm8001_phy_control() function returns and the passed enable_completion stack address is no longer valid. Late phy control response invokes complete() on a dangling enable_completion pointer which leads to a kernel crash.
