Description

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

block: fix uaf for flush rq while iterating tags

blk_mq_clear_flush_rq_mapping() is not called during scsi probe, by
checking blk_queue_init_done(). However, QUEUE_FLAG_INIT_DONE is cleared
in del_gendisk by commit aec89dc5d421 ("block: keep q_usage_counter in
atomic mode after del_gendisk"), hence for disk like scsi, following
blk_mq_destroy_queue() will not clear flush rq from tags->rqs[] as well,
cause following uaf that is found by our syzkaller for v6.6:

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.
