SCSI FIXES LAND AMID RC6 PUSH, MALICIOUS TARGET VULNERABILITY PATCHED

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Linux · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Linus pulled critical SCSI fixes including a queue kick race condition that could strand requests, plus a defense against fabric traffic injection attacks.

The SCSI subsystem received two core fixes, with the most significant addressing a window in SDEV_CANCEL where requests could get stuck in the queue [1]. FC transport hardened its FPIN counter against fabric-based privilege attacks, while the iscsi layer patched a vulnerability where a malicious target could trigger denial of service [1]. Separately, x86 fixes landed addressing PLATFORM_ID MSR access in guests and ftrace relocation bugs in dynamic trampolines that were crashing systems [2]. Media drivers got regression reversions in the vsp1 DRM pipeline code and control packet fixes in rc devices [3]. Input drivers now handle new controller types and validate firmware sizes to prevent out-of-bounds access, plus i2c virtio properly marks devices ready before registration [4], [5].
