Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> scsi: target: iscsi: Fix a race condition between login_work and the login thread<br /> <br /> In case a malicious initiator sends some random data immediately after a<br /> login PDU; the iscsi_target_sk_data_ready() callback will schedule the<br /> login_work and, at the same time, the negotiation may end without clearing<br /> the LOGIN_FLAGS_INITIAL_PDU flag (because no additional PDU exchanges are<br /> required to complete the login).<br /> <br /> The login has been completed but the login_work function will find the<br /> LOGIN_FLAGS_INITIAL_PDU flag set and will never stop from rescheduling<br /> itself; at this point, if the initiator drops the connection, the<br /> iscsit_conn structure will be freed, login_work will dereference a released<br /> socket structure and the kernel crashes.<br /> <br /> BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000230<br /> PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode<br /> PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page<br /> Workqueue: events iscsi_target_do_login_rx [iscsi_target_mod]<br /> RIP: 0010:_raw_read_lock_bh+0x15/0x30<br /> Call trace:<br /> iscsi_target_do_login_rx+0x75/0x3f0 [iscsi_target_mod]<br /> process_one_work+0x1e8/0x3c0<br /> <br /> Fix this bug by forcing login_work to stop after the login has been<br /> completed and the socket callbacks have been restored.<br /> <br /> Add a comment to clearify the return values of iscsi_target_do_login()
