Summary

In the Linux kernel qla4xxx SCSI driver, qla4xxx_get_ep_fwdb() is supposed to return NULL on error, but qla4xxx_ep_connect() returns error pointers. Propagating these error pointers leads to an Oops in the caller.

Risk Assessment

Invalid error pointers can cause a kernel Oops and system instability during iSCSI connection handling.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that changes error pointers to NULL.
