[PATCH] scsi: advansys: Fix invalid comparison in AdvBuildCarrierFreelist

From: Roman Demidov

Date: Fri Aug 07 2026 - 04:07:17 EST


The loop index i takes values from 0 to carr_num - 1 therefore
the comparison i == carr_num is always false. The assignment
next_offset = ~0 must occur for the last element of the list,
its index is carr_num - 1.

In the adv_get_next_carrier() function, the last element of the
list is determined by the value next_vpa = ~0 or next_vpa = 0.
If adv_get_next_carrier() is called with the last element of the
list as an argument, instead of returning NULL, adv_get_carrier()
will be called with an invalid offset. The resulting address is
outside the bounds of the allocated memory, after which
carrp->next_vpa is written, leading to memory corruption.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
