Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvme-pci: fix race condition between reset and nvme_dev_disable()

nvme_dev_disable() modifies the dev->online_queues field, therefore
nvme_pci_update_nr_queues() should avoid racing against it, otherwise
we could end up passing invalid values to blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues().

WARNING: CPU: 39 PID: 61303 at drivers/pci/msi/api.c:347
pci_irq_get_affinity+0x187/0x210
Workqueue: nvme-reset-wq nvme_reset_work [nvme]
RIP: 0010:pci_irq_get_affinity+0x187/0x210
Call Trace:

? blk_mq_pci_map_queues+0x87/0x3c0
? pci_irq_get_affinity+0x187/0x210
blk_mq_pci_map_queues+0x87/0x3c0
nvme_pci_map_queues+0x189/0x460 [nvme]
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues+0x2a/0x40
nvme_reset_work+0x1be/0x2a0 [nvme]

Fix the bug by locking the shutdown_lock mutex before using
dev->online_queues. Give up if nvme_dev_disable() is running or if
it has been executed already.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
