"The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-56623 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: qla2xxx: Fix use after free on
    unload System crash is observed with stack trace warning of use after free. There are 2 signals to tell
    dpc_thread to terminate (UNLOADING flag and kthread_stop). On setting the UNLOADING flag when dpc_thread
    happens to run at the time and sees the flag, this causes dpc_thread to exit and clean up itself. When
    kthread_stop is called for final cleanup, this causes use after free. Remove UNLOADING signal to terminate
    dpc_thread. Use the kthread_stop as the main signal to exit dpc_thread. [596663.812935] kernel BUG at
