CVE-2024-41054

Technical 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:

ufshcd_try_to_abort_task: cmd pending in the device. tag = 6

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000194

pc : [0xffffffd589679bf8] blk_mq_unique_

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.
