AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to clear freed pointers in the error path of qla2x00_mem_alloc(), preventing double free and null pointer dereference. Users should apply the official kernel updates containing this fix when available.
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's qla2xxx SCSI driver was fixed by ensuring pointers freed in error paths are nulled out to prevent double free and null pointer dereference.
