CVE-2026-99152

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: libiscsi: Validate the task named by a management response

iscsi complete pdu() fetches the task for five response types from one place and checks only that the index resolved:

case ISCSI OP LOGOUT RSP: case ISCSI OP LOGIN RSP: case ISCSI OP TEXT RSP: case ISCSI OP SCSI TMFUNC RSP: case ISCSI OP NOOP IN: task = iscsi itt to task(conn, hdr->itt); if (!task) return ISCSI ERR BAD ITT;

iscsi itt to task() bounds the index against cmds max and looks at nothing else, so a target can name any slot in the pool, including one that has never been used. task->conn is then NULL, and both iscsi nop out rsp() and iscsi complete task() dereference it. One unsolicited NOP-In is enough; a Text Response carrying the same ITT crashes in iscsi complete task() instead.

Require the task to be in flight and not a SCSI command, the way iscsi itt to ctask() does for the command opcodes.
