## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> The Linux kernel's qla2xxx SCSI driver is affected from 4.17 until fixed. Repeated aborts of the same NVMe command can corrupt the workqueue list, leading to crashes or a looping worker. The source does not describe what access an attacker needs. Upgrade to 5.10.273, 5.15.224, 6.1.191 or 6.6.157 or later in the matching branch.
