Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: core: Fix a use-after-free There are two .exit_cmd_priv implementations. Both implementations use resources associated with the SCSI host. Make sure that these resources are still available when .exit_cmd_priv is called by waiting inside scsi_remove_host() until the tag set has been freed. This commit fixes the following use-after-free: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in srp_exit_cmd_priv+0x27/0xd0 [ib_srp] Read of size 8 at addr ffff888100337000 by task multipathd/16727 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x44 print_report.cold+0x5e/0x5db kasan_report+0xab/0x120 srp_exit_cmd_priv+0x27/0xd0 [ib_srp] scsi_mq_exit_request+0x4d/0x70 blk_mq_free_rqs+0x143/0x410 __blk_mq_free_map_and_rqs+0x6e/0x100 blk_mq_free_tag_set+0x2b/0x160 scsi_host_dev_release+0xf3/0x1a0 device_release+0x54/0xe0 kobject_put+0xa5/0x120 device_release+0x54/0xe0 kobject_put+0xa5/0x120 scsi_device_dev_release_usercontext+0x4c1/0x4e0 execute_in_process_context+0x23/0x90 device_release+0x54/0xe0 kobject_put+0xa5/0x120 scsi_disk_release+0x3f/0x50 device_release+0x54/0xe0 kobject_put+0xa5/0x120 disk_release+0x17f/0x1b0 device_release+0x54/0xe0 kobject_put+0xa5/0x120 dm_put_table_device+0xa3/0x160 [dm_mod] dm_put_device+0xd0/0x140 [dm_mod] free_priority_group+0xd8/0x110 [dm_multipath] free_multipath+0x94/0xe0 [dm_multipath] dm_table_destroy+0xa2/0x1e0 [dm_mod] __dm_destroy+0x196/0x350 [dm_mod] dev_remove+0x10c/0x160 [dm_mod] ctl_ioctl+0x2c2/0x590 [dm_mod] dm_ctl_ioctl+0x5/0x10 [dm_mod] __x64_sys_ioctl+0xb4/0xf0 dm_ctl_ioctl+0x5/0x10 [dm_mod] __x64_sys_ioctl+0xb4/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0
