CVE-2024-53170: kernel: block: fix uaf for flush rq while iterating tags
Component: kernel
Severity: Moderate
CWE: CWE-416 (Use After Free)
CVSS v3: 6.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
Public date: 2024-12-27T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

block: fix uaf for flush rq while iterating tags

blk_mq_clear_flush_rq_mapping() is not called during scsi probe, by
checking blk_queue_init_done(). However, QUEUE_FLAG_INIT_DONE is cleared
in del_gendisk by commit aec89dc5d421 ("block: keep q_usage_counter in
atomic mode after del_gendisk"), hence for disk like scsi, following
blk_mq_destroy_queue() will not clear flush rq from tags->rqs[] as well,
cause following uaf that is found by our syzkaller for v6.6:
