This is caused by mpt3sas_base_sync_reply_irqs() using an invalid reply_q pointer outside of the list_for_each_entry() loop. At the end of the full list traversal the pointer is invalid.

Move the _base_process_reply_queue() call inside of the loop.

Weakness

The product attempts to return a memory resource to the system, but it calls the wrong release function or calls the appropriate release function incorrectly.

Affected Software

Extended Description

This weakness can take several forms, such as:

Potential Mitigations

• Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
• For example, glibc in Linux provides protection against free of invalid pointers.
