Vulnerability Details : CVE-2021-47427
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: iscsi: Fix iscsi_task use after free
Commit d39df158518c ("scsi: iscsi: Have abort handler get ref to conn")
added iscsi_get_conn()/iscsi_put_conn() calls during abort handling but
then also changed the handling of the case where we detect an already
completed task where we now end up doing a goto to the common put/cleanup
code. This results in a iscsi_task use after free, because the common
cleanup code will do a put on the iscsi_task.
This reverts the goto and moves the iscsi_get_conn() to after we've checked
if the iscsi_task is valid.

CWE ids for CVE-2021-47427
-
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.Assigned by: nvd@nist.gov (Primary)
