In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpt3sas: Fix use after free in scsihexpandernoderemove()
The function mpt3sastransportportremove() called in _scsihexpandernoderemove() frees the port field of the sasexpander structure, leading to the following use-after-free splat from KASAN when the iocinfo() call following that function is executed (e.g. when doing rmmod of the driver module):

Fix this by introducing the local variable portid to store the port ID value before executing mpt3sastransportportremove(). This local variable is then used in the call to ioc_info() instead of dereferencing the freed port structure.
