CVE-2026-23193

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:scsi: target: iscsi: Fix use-after-free in iscsit_dec_session_usage_count()In iscsit_dec_session_usage_count(), the function calls complete() whileholding the sess->session_usage_lock. Similar to the connection usage countlogic, the waiter signaled by complete() (e.g., in the session releasepath) may wake up and free the iscsit_session structure immediately.This creates a race condition where the current thread may attempt toexecute spin_unlock_bh() on a session structure that has already beendeallocated, resulting in a KASAN slab-use-after-free.To resolve this, release the session_usage_lock before calling complete()to ensure all dereferences of the sess pointer are finished before thewaiter is allowed to proceed with deallocation.
