Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hns3: fix kernel crash when uninstalling driver When the driver is uninstalled and the VF is disabled concurrently, a kernel crash occurs. The reason is that the two actions call function pci_disable_sriov(). The num_VFs is checked to determine whether to release the corresponding resources. During the second calling, num_VFs is not 0 and the resource release function is called. However, the corresponding resource has been released during the first invoking. Therefore, the problem occurs: [15277.839633][T50670] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020 ... [15278.131557][T50670] Call trace: [15278.134686][T50670] klist_put+0x28/0x12c [15278.138682][T50670] klist_del+0x14/0x20 [15278.142592][T50670] device_del+0xbc/0x3c0 [15278.146676][T50670] pci_remove_bus_device+0x84/0x120 [15278.151714][T50670] pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device+0x6c/0x80 [15278.157447][T50670] pci_iov_remove_virtfn+0xb4/0x12c [15278.162485][T50670] sriov_disable+0x50/0x11c [15278.166829][T50670] pci_disable_sriov+0x24/0x30 [15278.171433][T50670] hnae3_unregister_ae_algo_prepare+0x60/0x90 [hnae3] [15278.178039][T50670] hclge_exit+0x28/0xd0 [hclge] [15278.182730][T50670] __se_sys_delete_module.isra.0+0x164/0x230 [15278.188550][T50670] __arm64_sys_delete_module+0x1c/0x30 [15278.193848][T50670] invoke_syscall+0x50/0x11c [15278.198278][T50670] el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x158/0x164 [15278.203837][T50670] do_el0_svc+0x34/0xcc [15278.207834][T50670] el0_svc+0x20/0x30 For details, see the following figure. rmmod hclge disable VFs ---------------------------------------------------- hclge_exit() sriov_numvfs_store() ... device_lock() pci_disable_sriov() hns3_pci_sriov_configure() pci_disable_sriov() sriov_disable() sriov_disable() if !num_VFs : if !num_VFs : return; return; sriov_del_vfs() sriov_del_vfs() ... ... klist_put() klist_put() ... ... num_VFs = 0; num_VFs = 0; device_unlock(); In this patch, when driver is removing, we get the device_lock() to protect num_VFs, just like sriov_numvfs_store().

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.

Related by attack behaviour

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
