Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: Revert "scsi: core: Do not increase scsi_device's iorequest_cnt if dispatch failed"
The "atomic_inc(&cmd->device->iorequest_cnt)" in scsi_queue_rq() would
cause kernel panic because cmd->device may be freed after returning from
scsi_dispatch_cmd().
This reverts commit cfee29ffb45b1c9798011b19d454637d1b0fe87d.
A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCSI subsystem in the command dispatch error handling. A local user can trigger this issue through specific SCSI device operations that cause dispatch failures, where the code attempts to increment a reference counter on a device structure that may have already been freed after returning from the dispatch function. This results in accessing freed memory, leading to kernel panic or potential memory corruption.
Отчет
The vulnerability was introduced by a commit that attempted to fix reference counting by incrementing iorequest_cnt after dispatch. However, the design assumption that cmd->device remains valid after scsi_dispatch_cmd() returns is incorrect—the device structure can be freed during or immediately after dispatch in certain error scenarios. When the code then attempts to access cmd->device->iorequest_cnt, it dereferences freed memory. This race window is narrow and requires specific error conditions during SCSI command dispatch, such as device removal concurrent with I/O operations or certain failure paths in lower-level drivers.
