DescriptionNVD

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

scsi: sg: Avoid sg device teardown race

sg_remove_sfp_usercontext() must not use sg_device_destroy() after calling scsi_device_put().

sg_device_destroy() is accessing the parent scsi_device request_queue which will already be set to NULL when the preceding call to scsi_device_put() removed the last reference to the parent scsi_device.

The resulting NULL pointer exception will then crash the kernel.

AnalysisAI

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: sg: Avoid sg device teardown race sg_remove_sfp_usercontext() must not use sg_device_destroy() after calling. Rated medium severity (CVSS 4.7). This NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability could allow attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a null pointer.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is classified as NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476), which allows attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a null pointer. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: sg: Avoid sg device teardown race sg_remove_sfp_usercontext() must not use sg_device_destroy() after calling scsi_device_put(). sg_device_destroy() is accessing the parent scsi_device request_queue which will already be set to NULL when the preceding call to scsi_device_put() removed the last reference to the parent scsi_device. The resulting NULL pointer exception will then crash the kernel. Affected products include: Linux Linux Kernel.

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Check pointers before dereferencing. Use static analysis tools to detect null pointer paths.
