Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/bnx2x: Prevent access to a freed page in page_pool Fix race condition leading to system crash during EEH error handling During EEH error recovery, the bnx2x driver's transmit timeout logic could cause a race condition when handling reset tasks. The bnx2x_tx_timeout() schedules reset tasks via bnx2x_sp_rtnl_task(), which ultimately leads to bnx2x_nic_unload(). In bnx2x_nic_unload() SGEs are freed using bnx2x_free_rx_sge_range(). However, this could overlap with the EEH driver's attempt to reset the device using bnx2x_io_slot_reset(), which also tries to free SGEs. This race condition can result in system crashes due to accessing freed memory locations in bnx2x_free_rx_sge() 799 static inline void bnx2x_free_rx_sge(struct bnx2x *bp, 800 struct bnx2x_fastpath *fp, u16 index) 801 { 802 struct sw_rx_page *sw_buf = &fp->rx_page_ring[index]; 803 struct page *page = sw_buf->page; .... where sw_buf was set to NULL after the call to dma_unmap_page() by the preceding thread.

Additional Descriptions (1)

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net/bnx2x: impide el acceso a una página liberada en page_pool. Repara la condición de carrera que provoca un bloqueo del sistema durante el manejo de errores EEH. Durante la recuperación de errores EEH, la lógica de tiempo de espera de transmisión del controlador bnx2x podría provocar una carrera. condición al manejar tareas de reinicio. El bnx2x_tx_timeout() programa tareas de reinicio a través de bnx2x_sp_rtnl_task(), lo que finalmente conduce a bnx2x_nic_unload(). En bnx2x_nic_unload(), los SGE se liberan utilizando bnx2x_free_rx_sge_range(). Sin embargo, esto podría superponerse con el intento del controlador EEH de restablecer el dispositivo usando bnx2x_io_slot_reset(), que también intenta liberar los SGE. This race condition can result in system crashes due to accessing freed memory locations in bnx2x_free_rx_sge() 799 static inline void bnx2x_free_rx_sge(struct bnx2x *bp, 800 struct bnx2x_fastpath *fp, u16 index) 801 { 802 struct sw_rx_page *sw_buf = &fp->rx_page_ring [índice]; 803 página de estructura *página = sw_buf->página; .... donde sw_buf se configuró en NULL después de la llamada a dma_unmap_page() por el hilo anterior.
