Description
A resource leak vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's SCSI subsystem, specifically within the lpfc (LightPulse Fibre Channel) driver. This issue arises when the driver processes unsolicited frames that lack a corresponding handler for their rctl (Routing Control) value. In such cases, the frames are dropped without properly releasing the associated resources, leading to a memory leak.
