Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-06-19 14:15 - Updated: 2026-08-04 11:18
Severity
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Add a timeout to acquire the command queue semaphore
Prevent forced completion handling on an entry that has not yet been
assigned an index, causing an out of bounds access on idx = -22.
Instead of waiting indefinitely for the sem, blocking flow now waits for
index to be allocated or a sem acquisition timeout before beginning the
timer for FW completion.
Kernel log example:
mlx5_core 0000:06:00.0: wait_func_handle_exec_timeout:1128:(pid 185911): cmd[-22]: CREATE_UCTX(0xa04) No done completion
