CVE-2022-48792 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: pm8001: Fix use-after-free for aborted SSP/STP sas_task

Currently a use-after-free may occur if a sas_task is aborted by the upper layer before we handle the I/O completion in mpi_ssp_completion() or mpi_sata_completion().

In this case the following are the two steps in handling those I/O completions:

• Call complete() to inform the upper layer handler of completion of the I/O.

• Release driver resources associated with the sas_task in pm8001_ccb_task_free() call.

When complete() is called the upper layer may free the sas_task. As such we should not touch the associated sas_task afterwards but we do so in the pm8001_ccb_task_free() call.

Fix by swapping the complete() and pm8001_ccb_task_free() calls ordering.
