In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: hisi_sas: Grab sas_dev lock when traversing the members of sas_dev.list
When freeing slots in function slot_complete_v3_hw(), it is possible that
sas_dev.list is being traversed elsewhere, and it may trigger a NULL
pointer exception, such as follows:
