[PATCH] [PATCH] scsi:bfa: Double-free vulnerability fix

From: jackysliu
Date: Tue Jun 24 2025 - 07:58:54 EST


In the QLogic BR-series Fibre Channel driver (bfad),
there exists a double-free vulnerability.
When the bfad_im_probe() function fails during initialization,
the memory pointed to by bfad->im is freed without
setting bfad->im to NULL.
Subsequently, during driver uninstallation,
when the state machine enters the bfad_sm_stopping state
and calls the bfad_im_probe_undo() function,
it attempts to free the memory pointed to by bfad->im again,
thereby triggering a double-free vulnerability.
