Subject: [PATCH 0/3] scsi: target: iscsi: fix session use-after-free on non-leading login
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2026 19:27:43 +1030 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1794732723.git.danjwade95@gmail.com> (raw)
A non-leading login can attach a connection to a session that
iscsit_close_connection() has already committed to freeing. The
connection ends up in full feature phase with conn->sess dangling and
its NOP-In timer walking freed memory. The same window leaves an armed
Time2Retain timer on a freed session when the login fails instead.
The bug dates to the driver's original merge in v3.1, but the fix keys
off ->session_close, which arrived in v5.7 with commit 57c46e9f33da
("scsi: target: fix hang when multiple threads try to destroy the same
iscsi session"), so a backport further back needs adjusting.
Tested with KASAN on mainline against a target with authentication=0
and one explicit ACL. Compile tested on x86_64.
A reproducer is available on request.
