CVE-2022-49406

  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2022-49406
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: Fix potential deadlock in blk_ia_range_sysfs_show() When being read, a sysfs attribute is already protected against removal with the kobject node active reference counter. As a result, in blk_ia_range_sysfs_show(), there is no need to take the queue sysfs lock when reading the value of a range attribute. Using the queue sysfs lock in this function creates a potential deadlock situation with the disk removal, something that a lockdep signals with a splat when the device is removed: [ 760.703551] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [ 760.703551] [ 760.703554] CPU0 CPU1 [ 760.703556] ---- ---- [ 760.703558] lock(&q->sysfs_lock); [ 760.703565] lock(kn->active#385); [ 760.703573] lock(&q->sysfs_lock); [ 760.703579] lock(kn->active#385); [ 760.703587] [ 760.703587] *** DEADLOCK *** Solve this by removing the mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() calls from blk_ia_range_sysfs_show().

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: block: Fix potential deadlock in blk_ia_range_sysfs_show() Cuando se lee, un atributo sysfs ya está protegido contra la eliminación con el contador de referencia activo del nodo kobject. Como resultado, en blk_ia_range_sysfs_show(), no es necesario tomar el bloqueo sysfs de la cola al leer el valor de un atributo de rango. El uso del bloqueo de cola sysfs en esta función crea una posible situación de bloqueo con la eliminación del disco, algo que un lockdep señala con un splat cuando se elimina el dispositivo: [ 760.703551] Posible escenario de bloqueo inseguro: [ 760.703551] [ 760.703554] CPU0 CPU1 [ 760.703556] ---- ---- [ 760.703558] lock(&q->sysfs_lock); [ 760.703565] lock(kn->active#385); [ 760.703573] lock(&q->sysfs_lock); [ 760.703579] lock(kn->active#385); [ 760.703587] [ 760.703587] *** DEADLOCK *** Solve this by removing the mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() calls from blk_ia_range_sysfs_show().
