CVE-2025-71238 is a double-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel SCSI qla2xxx driver, in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_bsg.c. The issue stems from inconsistent bsg_done() handling: while most routines call bsg_done() only on successful completion, some error paths also invoke it, causing the same resource to be freed twice. The bug was observed during vendor-specific BSG request processing, with crash traces involving sg_copy_buffer(), qla2x00_process_vendor_specific(), and qla24xx_bsg_request(). In affected kernels, this can lead to a kernel page fault and panic. The upstream fix adds validation before calling bsg_done() to prevent the duplicate free on failure paths.
