Subject: CVE-2026-45857: scsi: csiostor: Fix dereference of null pointer rn
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 14:18:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026052709-CVE-2026-45857-0a4f@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: csiostor: Fix dereference of null pointer rn
The error exit path when rn is NULL ends up deferencing the null pointer rn
via the use of the macro CSIO_INC_STATS. Fix this by adding a new error
return path label after the use of the macro to avoid the deference.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-45857 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
