Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCSI target subsystem, specifically within the `tcm_loop` module. This vulnerability arises when the `tcm_loop_target_reset()` function, responsible for handling target resets, fails to properly clear out commands that are still being processed. A local user or process could exploit this by initiating a target reset, which leads to unreleased resource references for Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs). The primary consequence is a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, where the system may become unresponsive when attempting to remove a LUN.
