{"id":"AZL-73069","summary":"CVE-2025-68741 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.121.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nscsi: qla2xxx: Fix improper freeing of purex item\n\nIn qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb(), an item is allocated via\nqla27xx_copy_multiple_pkt(), which internally calls\nqla24xx_alloc_purex_item().\n\nThe qla24xx_alloc_purex_item() function may return a pre-allocated item\nfrom a per-adapter pool for small allocations, instead of dynamically\nallocating memory with kzalloc().\n\nAn error handling path in qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb() incorrectly uses\nkfree() to release the item. If the item was from the pre-allocated\npool, calling kfree() on it is a bug that can lead to memory corruption.\n\nFix this by using the correct deallocation function,\nqla24xx_free_purex_item(), which properly handles both dynamically\nallocated and pre-allocated items.","modified":"2026-04-01T05:22:15.580075Z","published":"2025-12-24T13:16:29Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-68741"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-68741"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.121.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-73069.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
