Title
scsi: sg: Avoid sg device teardown race
Summary
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.
Severity

There is no network-facing consumer of `sg_remove_sfp_usercontext()`.\nAC:L - The attacker holds one side of the race directly (it owns the open sg fd and chooses when to `close()`), and can supply the other side by hot-unplugging its own removable SCSI/USB storage or by looping open/close across a hot-unplug; once sg holds the last `scsi_device` reference the ordering bug fires deterministically, and the attempt is freely repeatable.\nPR:L - No capability check exists on this path \u2014 only DAC permission on `/dev/sgN`, which is granted to the unprivileged `disk` group on mainstream distros and is world-accessible on many embedded/appliance and storage-software deployments; the device-removal side (physical unplug, transport loss, hypervisor hot-unplug) needs no privilege either.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the `open()`, triggers the device teardown, and performs the final `close()` from its own process; no victim action is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free and the resulting corruption are confined to kernel memory within the same security authority, with no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:H - `sg_device_destroy()` dereferences the already-`kfree()`d `struct scsi_device`, and the reclaimed slab can be groomed so the stale `request_queue` pointer aims `blk_trace_remove()`/`blk_put_queue()` at attacker-chosen kernel memory, yielding a leverageable kernel-memory disclosure primitive.\nI:H - The stale pointer loaded from freed memory is used for writes \u2014 `mutex_lock(\u0026q-\u003edebugfs_mutex)`, `rcu_replace_pointer(q-\u003eblk_trace, NULL)`, and `refcount_dec_and_test(\u0026q-\u003erefs)` \u2014 so a reallocated slab gives a controlled write into kernel memory and a path to control-flow hijack.\nA:H - In the common case the stale value is NULL and `blk_trace_remove(NULL)`/`blk_put_queue(NULL)` immediately oops the kernel, as stated in the fix commit; the crash is repeatable and takes down the whole system."
