CVE-2025-71238 is a double-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel SCSI qla2xxx driver's Block SCSI Generic (BSG) interface. Certain vendor-specific request handlers can invoke bsg_done() on failure paths even though completion processing also occurs elsewhere, causing the same BSG job to be completed and freed twice. The resulting use of released kernel memory can cause memory corruption and has been observed to produce a kernel page fault and panic during qla2xxx vendor-specific BSG request processing. The fix validates the job state before calling bsg_done().
