iscsit_handle_scsi_cmd() drives transport_generic_new_cmd() to target_scsi3_emulate_pr_out() and iblock_execute_pr_out() without local shell access.\nAC:L - After an admin enables iblock PR passthrough (TRANSPORT_FLAG_PASSTHROUGH_PGR) on a backing block device with pr_ops, any authenticated or misconfigured unauthenticated initiator can deterministically issue the affected SCSI service actions; no races or victim timing are required beyond normal target I/O.\nPR:N - Exploitation requires only the ability to complete an iSCSI (or equivalent fabric) login and submit SCSI commands to the exposed LUN; it does not require Linux UID, capabilities, or root on the target host, and targets are often deployed with authentication disabled or open demo ACLs.\nUI:N - No interactive victim action is needed; the attacker triggers the NULL function-pointer dereference solely by sending a crafted PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT CDB and 24-byte parameter list over the storage network protocol.\nS:U - Impact is a kernel oops/panic on the storage target host running LIO; it does not cross VM, container, or IOMMU boundaries and stays within the kernel's single security authority.\nC:N - The failure is a direct NULL function-pointer call (ops->pr_preempt or ops->pr_release) when the wrong pr_clear guard passes; this causes an immediate kernel fault with no out-of-bounds read, use-after-free, or attacker-controlled memory disclosure primitive.\nI:N - The bug does not modify user data, on-disk metadata, or kernel memory contents; it only attempts to invoke a missing callback and crashes, providing no arbitrary write or code-execution primitive beyond the fault itself.\nA:H - Dereferencing a NULL block-layer PR callback from kernel context causes an oops or panic on the target server, denying all storage services hosted on that node until reboot and potentially taking down co-located workloads."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/target/target_core_iblock.c"], "versions": [{"version": "394f811848827ad23d2b43e94e5d72a24cfbc39f", "lessThan": "3c60a8b4037dc35e365658fcbcb349a5d742ff49", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "394f811848827ad23d2b43e94e5d72a24cfbc39f", "lessThan": "a326b19cfb7775378b50acaa8d836ba44e29b4c2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "394f811848827ad23d2b43e94e5d72a24cfbc39f", "lessThan": "bdd8a1297ef101bb5ac57e53b4fbe5e364afd8b1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "394f811848827ad23d2b43e94e5d72a24cfbc39f", "lessThan": "f15bcf9a99b1b2683fcfa005b9b3680b5600581f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "394f811848827ad23d2b43e94e5d72a24cfbc39f", "lessThan": "9c33222bd387312874fbe36ca8002e5c945b9653", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/target/target_core_iblock.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.5", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.5", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.151", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.103", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.44", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1.8", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.151"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.103"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.44"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.8"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3c60a8b4037dc35e365658fcbcb349a5d742ff49"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a326b19cfb7775378b50acaa8d836ba44e29b4c2"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bdd8a1297ef101bb5ac57e53b4fbe5e364afd8b1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f15bcf9a99b1b2683fcfa005b9b3680b5600581f"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9c33222bd387312874fbe36ca8002e5c945b9653"}], "title": "scsi: target: iblock: Fix wrong PR ops NULL check for PREEMPT/RELEASE", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}, "adp": [{"metrics": [{"other": {"type": "ssvc", "content": {"id": "CVE-2026-80691", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [{"Exploitation": "none"}, {"Automatable": "yes"}, {"Technical Impact": "partial"}], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T19:20:02.512746Z"}}}], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-16T19:26:33.427Z"}}]}}
