Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-09-11 18:31 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:31

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mlx5e: Take state lock during tx timeout reporter

mlx5e_safe_reopen_channels() requires the state lock taken. The referenced changed in the Fixes tag removed the lock to fix another issue. This patch adds it back but at a later point (when calling mlx5e_safe_reopen_channels()) to avoid the deadlock referenced in the Fixes tag.

Severity

5.5 (Medium)

No remote peer input reaches the vulnerable function.\nAC:L - No lock is taken at all, and the unprotected window spans a full channel teardown/rebuild (firmware commands plus synchronize_net()), so the attacker-controlled side of the race \u2014 continuously requeuing `mlx5e_update_stats_work()` by looping on unprivileged stats reads \u2014 hits it reliably rather than depending on a narrow timing window.\nPR:L - Driving the racing `state_lock` holder requires only an unprivileged local account: `mlx5e_get_stats()` queues `mlx5e_update_stats_work()` and is reachable from `cat /proc/net/dev`, `ip -s link`, or `/sys/class/net/*/statistics/*` with no capability check.\nUI:N - The recovery work runs from a kernel workqueue and the stats path is driven entirely by the attacker\u0027s own reads; no victim action is required.\nS:U - The corrupted objects (`priv-\u003echannels`, `mlx5e_channel`, `mlx5e_selq`) all belong to the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - `mlx5e_close_channels()` kvfree()s each channel and kfree()s the `chs-\u003ec` array while the concurrent stats worker still dereferences them, giving a use-after-free read of slab memory that the attacker can groom (the same path immediately reallocates channels), which can be leveraged to disclose kernel memory.\nI:H - The same use-after-free on freed and reallocated channel/SQ/RQ objects yields attacker-influenceable pointer dereferences, and the unsynchronized `mlx5e_selq_prepare_params()`/`mlx5e_selq_apply()` sequence can publish inconsistent queue-selection parameters \u2014 both are exploitable for memory corruption.\nA:H - The race reliably produces a use-after-free/inconsistent `priv-\u003echannels` state leading to an oops or NIC-recovery failure (plus lockdep/WARN splats), taking down the network device and potentially the machine."

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.

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.
