In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Fix refcount leak for tagset_refcnt
This leak will cause a hang when tearing down the SCSI host. For example,
iscsid hangs with the following call trace:
[130120.652718] scsi_alloc_sdev: Allocation failure during SCSI scanning, some SCSI devices might not be configured
PID: 2528 TASK: ffff9d0408974e00 CPU: 3 COMMAND: "iscsid"
