## Machine-written summary

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

> The Linux kernel qla2xxx SCSI driver is affected from version 4.11 until fixed. A race during virtual port deletion can leave a removed port in the host map, so a later lookup can read freed memory. The source gives no details on the access an attacker needs. Upgrade to 6.1.191, 6.6.160, 6.12.112, or 6.18.53, or a later release on the matching stable branch.
