This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvmet-tcp: Fix a possible UAF in queue intialization setup to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: nvmet-tcp-fix-a-possible-uaf-in-queue-intialization-setup.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From d920abd1e7c4884f9ecd0749d1921b7ab19ddfbd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2023 13:54:28 +0300 Subject: nvmet-tcp: Fix a possible UAF in queue intialization setup From: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit d920abd1e7c4884f9ecd0749d1921b7ab19ddfbd upstream. >From Alon: "Due to a logical bug in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel, a malicious user can cause a UAF and a double free, which may lead to RCE (may also lead to an LPE in case the attacker already has local privileges)." Hence, when a queue initialization fails after the ahash requests are allocated, it is guaranteed that the queue removal async work will be called, hence leave the deallocation to the queue removal. Also, be extra careful not to continue processing the socket, so set queue rcv_state to NVMET_TCP_RECV_ERR upon a socket error.
