Summary
CVE-2025-38700 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.200.1-1
Details

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

scsi: libiscsi: Initialize iscsiconn->dddata only if memory is allocated

In case of an ibfastregmr allocation failure during iSER setup, the machine hits a panic because iscsiconn->dddata is initialized unconditionally, even when no memory is allocated (ddsize == 0). This leads invalid pointer dereference during connection teardown.

Fix by setting iscsiconn->dddata only if memory is actually allocated.

Panic trace:
