CVE-2024-35974
5.5 · MEDIUMOverview
CVE-2024-35974 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 20, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix q->blkg_list corruption during disk rebind
Multiple gendisk instances can allocated/added for single request queue
in case of disk rebind. blkg may still stay in q->blkg_list when calling
blkcg_init_disk() for rebind, then q->blkg_list becomes corrupted.
Fix the list corruption issue by:
- add blkg_init_queue() to initialize q->blkg_list & q->blkcg_mutex only
- move calling blkg_init_queue() into blk_alloc_queue()
The list corruption should be started since commit f1c006f1c685 ("blk-cgroup:
synchronize pd_free_fn() from blkg_free_workfn() and blkcg_deactivate_policy()")
which delays removing blkg from q->blkg_list into blkg_free_workfn().
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
