Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89855)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

CVSSv4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause corruption of flash version reads.

The vulnerability exists due to improper synchronization in the qla2x00_sysfs_write_reset reset handler when the update cache versions without reset sysfs reset operation is invoked concurrently with a VPD or optrom flash operation. A local user can invoke the reset operation while a concurrent flash operation accesses the same hardware flash registers to cause corruption of flash version reads.


Remediation
