In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Zero mailbox struct in qla2x00_get_firmware_state()
The mbx_cmd_t is allocated on the stack but left uninitialized.
qla2x00_mailbox_command() has several early-return paths (PCI permanent
failure, device failed, EEH busy, ISP abort pending, mailbox access
timeout, purge mbox) that return without writing the input mailbox
registers back into mcp->mb[]. qla2x00_get_firmware_state() then
unconditionally copies mcp->mb[1..6] (and mb[12]) into the caller's
states[] array regardless of the return value.
On such a failure the copied values are uninitialized kernel stack
memory, which is then exposed to userspace via the fw_state and
mpi_fw_state sysfs handlers. Zero the mailbox struct so a failed query
yields deterministic zeroed state instead of leaking stack contents.
