scsi: megaraid_sas: Fix invalid node index

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.17% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 074efb35552556a4b3b25eedab076d5dc24a8199, 19a47c966deb36624843b7301f0373a3dc541a05, 752eb816b55adb0673727ba0ed96609a17895654; azl3 kernel 6.6.92.2-2 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.96.1-1; azl3 kernel 6.6.96.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.96.1-1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 074efb35552556a4b3b25eedab076d5dc24a8199, 19a47c966deb36624843b7301f0373a3dc541a05, 752eb816b55adb0673727ba0ed96609a17895654; azl3 kernel 6.6.92.2-2 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.96.1-1; azl3 kernel 6.6.96.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.96.1-1 or later.
