NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_53_87-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_53_87-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

scsi: elx: efct: Fix I/O leak on unsupported additional CDB

efct_dispatch_fcp_cmd() allocates an efct_io before dispatching an unsolicited FCP command. If the command has an unsupported additional CDB, the function returns -EIO before handing the IO to the SCSI layer.

Free the allocated IO before returning from this error path.
