The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in qla2x00_status_entry() in the qla2xxx SCSI driver when processing an FCP response containing an oversized response information length. A remote attacker can send a crafted FCP response with an oversized rsp_info_len value to disclose sensitive information.
