Linux kernel iSCSI handling can crash system

CVE-2026-99152 · published 5 days ago
Summary

The Linux kernel’s iSCSI component may crash the operating system when it receives an unexpected network message. This can cause the server to stop working unexpectedly. Updating the kernel to the latest version that includes the fix eliminates the risk.

What to do
  • Update linux kernel to version 7.2.13.
  • Update bellsoft linux-lts to version 6.1.191-r0.
  • Update bellsoft linux-lts to version 6.12.115-r0.

Original advisory text
BELL-CVE-2026-99152
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: libiscsi: Validate the task named by a management response __iscsi_complete_pdu() fetches the task for five response types from one place and checks only that the index resolved: case ISCSI_OP_LOGOUT_RSP: case ISCSI_OP_LOGIN_RSP: case ISCSI_OP_TEXT_RSP: case ISCSI_OP_SCSI_TMFUNC_RSP: case ISCSI_OP_NOOP_IN: task = iscsi_itt_to_task(conn, hdr->itt); if (!task) return ISCSI_ERR_BAD_ITT; iscsi_itt_to_task() bounds the index against cmds_max and looks at nothing else, so a target can name any slot in the pool, including one that has never been used. task->conn is then NULL, and both iscsi_nop_out_rsp() and iscsi_complete_task() dereference it. One unsolicited NOP-In is enough; a Text Response carrying the same ITT crashes in iscsi_complete_task() instead. Require the task to be in flight and not a SCSI command, the way iscsi_itt_to_ctask() does for the command opcodes.
