The post-allocation failure\ncases (SRB alloc / qla2x00_start_sp() failure) run with firmware started\nand still send the reject. Apply the same guard to the reject emission\nin qla2xxx_process_purls_pkt().","cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"cvssVector":null,"cwes":[],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2935b730211c5c1433aa6101fa3b55df2b63869a","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7c1fc75dd3fb6b6414508fbdf7aeed0d757c9120","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ac4b019ac07844d3f67ea5e48b1d982b2170d1a7","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e9bfb56e2c1bda49d3c5442d824569d71eec07e2","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f7e46ebffc5781aab3f1f5a5d4350addbb5833f4","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
