In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix use-after-free of qpair work on queue teardown
The response queue MSI-X handler qla2xxx_msix_rsp_q() schedules
qla_do_work() via queue_work(ha->wq, &qpair->q_work). qla_do_work()
dereferences the qpair (vha, rsp) and takes qpair->qp_lock.
During teardown, qla2xxx_delete_qpair() deletes the response queue, which
calls free_irq() in qla25xx_free_rsp_que(), and then frees the queue and
the qpair. free_irq() waits for running hardirq handlers but does not
cancel work already placed on ha->wq. A still-pending q_work then runs
qla_do_work() against the freed qpair and response queue, causing a
use-after-free. This is especially likely during full adapter teardown,
where destroy_workqueue(ha->wq) forces pending work to run after the queue
pairs have been freed.
Flush the work item with cancel_work_sync() in qla25xx_free_rsp_que()
after free_irq() has released the interrupt (so no new work can be
queued) and before the response queue and qpair memory are freed (so the
flushed handler still sees valid memory). Guard on rsp->qpair and ha->wq
to match the INIT_WORK() condition and avoid operating on an
uninitialized work_struct.
A flaw was found in the qla2xxx driver within the Linux kernel. A local user with administrative privileges could trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) or cause memory corruption during device or queue teardown. This issue occurs because background response queue tasks are not properly canceled before their associated data structures are freed, resulting in a use-after-free condition when the pending tasks execute.
Отчет
A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's qla2xxx Fibre Channel driver, rated Moderate severity by Red Hat Product Security. When a response queue is deleted during queue or full adapter teardown, work already queued on the driver workqueue is not canceled before the response queue and queue pair memory are freed. If that pending work subsequently executes, it dereferences the freed qpair and response queue structures, which can cause a kernel crash resulting in a denial of service, or potentially memory corruption. Exploitation requires local access with administrative privileges, for example to unbind the device, reset the adapter, or unload the driver, and also depends on winning a race between the queued work and the teardown path. Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat In-Vehicle OS, and OpenShift Container Platform releases that ship affected kernel builds are listed as affected. The fix is currently deferred for these streams, so the residual denial-of-service or memory-corruption risk remains until a fix is released. The CVE.org severity of Important differs from Red Hat's Moderate rating because Red Hat's assessment accounts for the administrative privilege requirement and the high attack complexity, which reduce practical exploitability relative to the upstream scoring.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
