CVE-2026-72083: scsi: target: core: Fix iSCSI ISID use-after-free in REGISTER AND MOVE

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: target: core: Fix iSCSI ISID use-after-free in REGISTER AND MOVE

core_scsi3_emulate_pro_register_and_move() maps the PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT
parameter list with transport_kmap_data_sg() and parses the destination
TransportID with target_parse_pr_out_transport_id(). For an iSCSI
TransportID (FORMAT CODE 01b), iscsi_parse_pr_out_transport_id() returns
the ISID in iport_ptr as a raw pointer into that mapped buffer.

The function then unmaps the buffer with transport_kunmap_data_sg() before
dereferencing iport_ptr in strcmp(), __core_scsi3_locate_pr_reg() and
core_scsi3_alloc_registration(). When the parameter list spans more than
one page (PARAMETER LIST LENGTH > 4096), transport_kmap_data_sg() uses
vmap() and transport_kunmap_data_sg() does vunmap(), so the kernel virtual
address backing iport_ptr is torn down and every subsequent dereference is
a use-after-free read of the unmapped region.

Keep the parameter list mapped until iport_ptr is no longer needed: drop
the early transport_kunmap_data_sg() and unmap once on the success path,
right before returning. The error paths already unmap through the existing
"if (buf) transport_kunmap_data_sg(cmd)" at the out: label, which now runs
on every post-map error exit because buf is no longer cleared early. Only
reads of the mapping happen while spinlocks are held; the map and unmap
calls remain outside any lock. The sibling caller
core_scsi3_decode_spec_i_port() already uses the buffer before unmapping it
and is left unchanged.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-72083 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:
