Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-tcp: fix kernel crash if commands allocation fails
If the commands allocation fails in nvmet_tcp_alloc_cmds()
the kernel crashes in nvmet_tcp_release_queue_work() because of
a NULL pointer dereference.
nvmet: failed to install queue 0 cntlid 1 ret 6
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
virtual address 0000000000000008
Fix the bug by setting queue->nr_cmds to zero in case
nvmet_tcp_alloc_cmd() fails.
A flaw was found in the nvmet-tcp component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs when the allocation of commands fails, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to trigger a kernel crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the nvmet-tcp kernel module from loading. This can be achieved by blacklisting the module.
- Create a new file
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvmet-tcp.confwith the following content:
- Rebuild the
initramfsto ensure the blacklist is applied during boot:
- Reboot the system for the changes to take effect. This mitigation may impact systems that rely on NVMe over TCP functionality.
