Hi, and thanks for this summary / the clarification about the affected and fixed versions which clears up everything.
It seems there is also a new security advisory around this vulnerabilities which gives some more background information: https://github.com/open-iscsi/open-iscsi/security/advisories/GHSA-r278-fm99-8rgp I have also already contacted the CISA again and asked for an update of their advisory, hope they will correct the wrong version info (2.1.12) soon.
