Vulnerability CVE-2024-41053


Published: 2024-07-29

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

scsi: ufs: core: Fix ufshcd_abort_one racing issue

When ufshcd_abort_one is racing with the completion ISR, the completed tag
of the request's mq_hctx pointer will be set to NULL by ISR. Return
success when request is completed by ISR because ufshcd_abort_one does not
need to do anything.

The racing flow is:

Thread A
ufshcd_err_handler step 1
...
ufshcd_abort_one
ufshcd_try_to_abort_task
ufshcd_cmd_inflight(true) step 3
ufshcd_mcq_req_to_hwq
blk_mq_unique_tag
rq->mq_hctx->queue_num step 5

Thread B
ufs_mtk_mcq_intr(cq complete ISR) step 2
scsi_done
...
__blk_mq_free_request
rq->mq_hctx = NULL; step 4

Below is KE back trace.
ufshcd_try_to_abort_task: cmd at tag 41 not pending in the device.
ufshcd_try_to_abort_task: cmd at tag=41 is cleared.
Aborting tag 41 / CDB 0x28 succeeded
