Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Check for hdwq null ptr when cleaning up lpfc_vport structure
If a call to lpfc_sli4_read_rev() from lpfc_sli4_hba_setup() fails, the
resultant cleanup routine lpfc_sli4_vport_delete_fcp_xri_aborted() may
occur before sli4_hba.hdwqs are allocated. This may result in a null
pointer dereference when attempting to take the abts_io_buf_list_lock for
the first hardware queue. Fix by adding a null ptr check on
phba->sli4_hba.hdwq and early return because this situation means there
must have been an error during port initialization.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel lpfc driver, used for Fibre Channel storage adapters. During port initialization, the driver's cleanup routine can dereference a null pointer when hardware queue structures have not been allocated.
A local user could trigger this condition and cause a kernel crash, leading to a denial of service until it is restarted.
Отчет
In the linux kernel lpfc driver for Fibre Channel adapters, a null-pointer dereference can occur during error handling in port initialization. If lpfc_sli4_read_rev() fails before hardware queues are allocated, the cleanup routine lpfc_sli4_vport_delete_fcp_xri_aborted() attempts to access the first queue lock and crshes, resulting in a denial of service until the driver is restarted.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the lpfc kernel module from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions on how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
