Vulnerability CVE-2024-41054
Published: 2024-07-29

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

scsi: ufs: core: Fix ufshcd_clear_cmd racing issue

When ufshcd_clear_cmd is racing with the completion ISR, the completed tag
of the request's mq_hctx pointer will be set to NULL by the ISR. And
ufshcd_clear_cmd's call to ufshcd_mcq_req_to_hwq will get NULL pointer KE.
Return success when the request is completed by ISR because sq does not
need cleanup.

The racing flow is:

Thread A
ufshcd_err_handler step 1
ufshcd_try_to_abort_task
ufshcd_cmd_inflight(true) step 3
ufshcd_clear_cmd
...
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:
