In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Bound VP index against VP_CTRL IOCB bitmap size
The VP control IOCB selects its target virtual port by setting one bit
in vp_idx_map, a fixed 16-byte (128-bit) array in both
vp_ctrl_entry_24xx and vp_ctrl_entry_24xx_ext. qla25xx_ctrlvp_iocb()
computes map = (vp_index - 1) / 8 and writes vce->vp_idx_map[map]
without checking that map stays within the array.
max_npiv_vports is taken from firmware and only sanitized to a
MIN_MULTI_ID_FABRIC-aligned boundary, so it can legitimately be 191 or
255, and qla24xx_control_vp() only rejects vp_index >= max_npiv_vports.
A vp_index above 128 therefore yields map >= 16 and an out-of-bounds
write of up to 16 bytes past vp_idx_map, corrupting the trailing IOCB
fields (or the adjacent request-ring slot on the 64-byte layout).
Reject a vp_index that cannot be represented in the IOCB bitmap in
qla24xx_control_vp(), and add a defensive ARRAY_SIZE() guard in
qla25xx_ctrlvp_iocb() before the write. Adapters that report the usual
63 or 127 NPIV vports are unaffected.

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
