Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionNVD
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-debug: fix a possible deadlock on radix_lock
radix_lock() shouldn't be held while holding dma_hash_entry[idx].lock otherwise, there's a possible deadlock scenario when dma debug API is called holding rq_lock():
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 dma_free_attrs() check_unmap() add_dma_entry() __schedule() //out (A) rq_lock() get_hash_bucket() (A) dma_entry_hash check_sync() (A) radix_lock() (W) dma_entry_hash dma_entry_free() (W) radix_lock() // CPU2's one (W) rq_lock()
CPU1 situation can happen when it extending radix tree and it tries to wake up kswapd via wake_all_kswapd().
CPU2 situation can happen while perf_event_task_sched_out() (i.e. dma sync operation is called while deleting perf_event using etm and etr tmc which are Arm Coresight hwtracing driver backends).
To remove this possible situation, call dma_entry_free() after put_hash_bucket() in check_unmap().
AnalysisAI
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dma-debug: fix a possible deadlock on radix_lock radix_lock() shouldn't be held while holding dma_hash_entry[idx].lock otherwise,. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-667. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dma-debug: fix a possible deadlock on radix_lock radix_lock() shouldn't be held while holding dma_hash_entry[idx].lock otherwise, there's a possible deadlock scenario when dma debug API is called holding rq_lock(): CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 dma_free_attrs() check_unmap() add_dma_entry() __schedule() //out (A) rq_lock() get_hash_bucket() (A) dma_entry_hash check_sync() (A) radix_lock() (W) dma_entry_hash dma_entry_free() (W) radix_lock() // CPU2's one (W) rq_lock() CPU1 situation can happen when it extending radix tree and it tries to wake up kswapd via wake_all_kswapd(). CPU2 situation can happen while perf_event_task_sched_out() (i.e. dma sync operation is called while deleting perf_event using etm and etr tmc which are Arm Coresight hwtracing driver backends). To remove this possible situation, call dma_entry_free() after put_hash_bucket() in check_unmap(). Affected products include: Linux Linux Kernel.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Apply vendor patches when available. Implement network segmentation and monitoring as interim mitigations.
