Summary
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's iSCSI target core. This use-after-free vulnerability occurs in the `core_scsi3_emulate_pro_register_and_move()` function.
When processing iSCSI TransportIDs, a memory buffer is prematurely unmapped while still being referenced, particularly when the parameter list spans multiple pages. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service.
