CVE-2026-23216

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:scsi: target: iscsi: Fix use-after-free in iscsit_dec_conn_usage_count()In iscsit_dec_conn_usage_count(), the function calls complete() whileholding the conn->conn_usage_lock. As soon as complete() is invoked, thewaiter (such as iscsit_close_connection()) may wake up and proceed to freethe iscsit_conn structure.If the waiter frees the memory before the current thread reachesspin_unlock_bh(), it results in a KASAN slab-use-after-free as the functionattempts to release a lock within the already-freed connection structure.Fix this by releasing the spinlock before calling complete().
