Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's qla2xxx driver. During virtual port deletion, stale entries can remain in the command array when aborted I/O requests fail to complete before driver unloading. A local user with administrative privileges could trigger this condition during port removal, causing a NULL pointer dereference that results in a system crash and Denial of Service (DoS).
