CVE-2024-26935 is a Linux kernel SCSI core cleanup regression affecting procfs host-directory removal. A SCSI host proc directory is created during SCSI host allocation, but prior cleanup changes removed the directory-removal call from the host device release path to avoid duplicate removal after a host had been added and removed. Consequently, error paths that allocate a SCSI host but never call scsi_add_host(), including a usb-storage probe failure path, can release the host without removing its procfs directory. Subsequent attempts to register the same directory produce duplicate-registration warnings and leave the SCSI host proc structure leaked. The correction retains removal during device release only when the host is in the SHOST_CREATED state, covering allocated-but-never-added hosts without duplicating cleanup for normal add/remove flows.
