However, for\na `VIRTIO_SCSI_T_AN_*` request, tpg is not required, so `vc.target` is\nset to NULL in this branch. Later, in vhost_scsi_get_req(),\n`vc->target` is dereferenced without being checked, leading to a null\npointer dereference bug. This bug can be triggered from guest.\n\nWhen this bug occurs, the vhost_worker process is killed while holding\n`vq->mutex` and the corresponding tpg will remain occupied\nindefinitely.\n\nBelow is the KASAN report:\nOops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address\n0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN NOPTI\nKASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]\nCPU: 1 PID: 840 Comm: poc Not tainted 6.10.0+ #1\nHardware name: QEMU Ubuntu 24.04 PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS\n1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014\nRIP: 0010:vhost_scsi_get_req+0x165/0x3a0\nCode: 00 fc ff df 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 2b 02 00 00\n48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 4d 8b 65 30 4c 89 e2 48 c1 ea 03 <0f> b6\n04 02 4c 89 e2 83 e2 07 38 d0 7f 08 84 c0 0f 85 be 01 00 00\nRSP: 0018:ffff888017affb50 EFLAGS: 00010246\nRAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffff88801b000000 RCX: 0000000000000000\nRDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff888017affcb8\nRBP: ffff888017affb80 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000\nR10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000000\nR13: ffff888017affc88 R14: ffff888017affd1c R15: ffff888017993000\nFS: 000055556e076500(0000) GS:ffff88806b100000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\nCS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: 00000000200027c0 CR3: 0000000010ed0004 CR4: 0000000000370ef0\nCall Trace:\n \n ? show_regs+0x86/0xa0\n ? die_addr+0x4b/0xd0\n ? exc_general_protection+0x163/0x260\n ? asm_exc_general_protection+0x27/0x30\n ? vhost_scsi_get_req+0x165/0x3a0\n vhost_scsi_ctl_handle_vq+0x2a4/0xca0\n ? __pfx_vhost_scsi_ctl_handle_vq+0x10/0x10\n ? __switch_to+0x721/0xeb0\n ? __schedule+0xda5/0x5710\n ? __kasan_check_write+0x14/0x30\n ? _raw_spin_lock+0x82/0xf0\n vhost_scsi_ctl_handle_kick+0x52/0x90\n vhost_run_work_list+0x134/0x1b0\n vhost_task_fn+0x121/0x350\n...\n \n---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---\n\nLet's add a check in vhost_scsi_get_req.\n\n[whitespace fixes]", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "3f8ca2e115e55af4c15d97dda635e948d2e380be", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "6592347f06e2b19a624270a85ad4b3ae48c3b241" }, { "version": "3f8ca2e115e55af4c15d97dda635e948d2e380be", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "46128370a72c431df733af5ebb065c4d48c9ad39" }, { "version": "3f8ca2e115e55af4c15d97dda635e948d2e380be", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "ace9c778a214da9c98d7b69d904d1b0816f4f681" }, { "version": "3f8ca2e115e55af4c15d97dda635e948d2e380be", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "25613e6d9841a1f9fb985be90df921fa99f800de" }, { "version": "3f8ca2e115e55af4c15d97dda635e948d2e380be", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "00fb5b23e1c9cdbe496f5cd6b40367cb895f6c93" }, { "version": "3f8ca2e115e55af4c15d97dda635e948d2e380be", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "61517f33e76d2c5247c1e61e668693afe5b67e6f" }, { "version": "3f8ca2e115e55af4c15d97dda635e948d2e380be", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "221af82f606d928ccef19a16d35633c63026f1be" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "4.20", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.20" }, { "version": "5.10.227", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*" }, { "version": "5.15.168", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*" }, { "version": "6.1.113", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*" }, { "version": "6.6.55", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.10.14", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.10.*" }, { "version": "6.11.3", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.11.*" }, { "version": "6.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
