DescriptionCVE.org

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

NTB: epf: Avoid calling pci_irq_vector() from hardirq context

ntb_epf_vec_isr() calls pci_irq_vector() in hardirq context to derive the vector number. pci_irq_vector() calls msi_get_virq() that takes a mutex and can therefore trigger "scheduling while atomic" splats:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/u33:0/55/0x00010001 ... Call trace: ... schedule+0x38/0x110 schedule_preempt_disabled+0x28/0x50 __mutex_lock.constprop.0+0x848/0x908 __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x18/0x30 mutex_lock+0x4c/0x60 msi_domain_get_virq+0xe8/0x138 pci_irq_vector+0x2c/0x60 ntb_epf_vec_isr+0x28/0x120 [ntb_hw_epf] __handle_irq_event_percpu+0x70/0x3a8 handle_irq_event+0x48/0x100 handle_edge_irq+0x100/0x1c8 ...

Cache the Linux IRQ number for vector 0 when vectors are allocated and use it as a base in the ISR. Running the ISR in a threaded IRQ handler would also avoid the problem, but that would be unnecessary here.

AnalysisAI

A denial-of-service flaw in the Linux kernel's NTB EPF driver can cause a kernel panic or system crash when the interrupt handler calls pci_irq_vector() in hardirq context. An attacker with local access to a system using this specialized hardware driver could trigger the issue. At the time of analysis, no public exploit or active exploitation has been reported, and EPSS indicates low exploitation probability (0.21%).
