CVE-2023-54234
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: mpi3mr: Fix missing mrioc->evtack_cmds initialization Commit c1af985d27da ("scsi: mpi3mr: Add Event acknowledgment logic") introduced an array mrioc->evtack_cmds but initialization of the array elements was missed. They are just zero cleared. The function mpi3mr_complete_evt_ack() refers host_tag field of the elements. Due to the zero value of the host_tag field, the function calls clear_bit() for mrico->evtack_cmds_bitmap with wrong bit index. This results in memory access to invalid address and "BUG: KASAN: use-after-free". This BUG was observed at eHBA-9600 firmware update to version 8.3.1.0. To fix it, add the missing initialization of mrioc->evtack_cmds.

"value": "En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta:\n\nscsi: mpi3mr: Corrección de la inicialización faltante de mrioc -> evtack_cmds\n\nEl commit c1af985d27da (’scsi: mpi3mr: Añadir lógica de reconocimiento de eventos’) introdujo un array mrioc -> evtack_cmds, pero se omitió la inicialización de los elementos del array. Simplemente se borran a cero. La función mpi3mr_complete_evt_ack() hace referencia al campo host_tag de los elementos. Debido al valor cero del campo host_tag, la función llama a clear_bit() para mrico -> evtack_cmds_bitmap con un índice de bit incorrecto. Esto resulta en un acceso a memoria a una dirección inválida y ’BUG: KASAN: uso después de liberación’. Este BUG se observó durante la actualización del firmware de eHBA-9600 a la versión 8.3.1.0. Para solucionarlo, se añade la inicialización faltante de mrioc -> evtack_cmds."
