Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: iscsi_tcp: Fix UAF during login when accessing the shost ipaddress
If during iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create() iscsi_tcp_r2tpool_alloc() fails,
userspace could be accessing the host's ipaddress attr. If we then free the
session via iscsi_session_teardown() while userspace is still accessing the
session we will hit a use after free bug.
Set the tcp_sw_host->session after we have completed session creation and
can no longer fail.
