Subject: CVE-2026-43413: scsi: hisi_sas: Fix NULL pointer exception during user_scan()
Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 16:22:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026050844-CVE-2026-43413-11ed@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: hisi_sas: Fix NULL pointer exception during user_scan()
user_scan() invokes updated sas_user_scan() for channel 0, and if
successful, iteratively scans remaining channels (1 to shost->max_channel)
via scsi_scan_host_selected() in commit 37c4e72b0651 ("scsi: Fix
sas_user_scan() to handle wildcard and multi-channel scans"). However,
hisi_sas supports only one channel, and the current value of max_channel is
1. sas_user_scan() for channel 1 will trigger the following NULL pointer
exception:

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:
