Summary

In the Linux kernel, a NULL dereference crash in the svc_deferred_event trace class in SUNRPC was fixed, occurring when an svc_rqst is deferred while sunrpc tracing is enabled.

Risk Assessment

The crash could lead to unavailability of network services or the system, and potential data loss during critical operations.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a patched version and consider disabling sunrpc tracing if not essential.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: SUNRPC: Fix the svc_deferred_event trace class Fix a NULL deref crash that occurs when an svc_rqst is deferred while the sunrpc tracing subsystem is enabled. svc_revisit() sets dr->xprt to NULL, so it can't be relied upon in the tracepoint to provide the remote's address. Unfortunately we can't revert the "svc_deferred_class" hunk in commit ece200ddd54b ("sunrpc: Save remote presentation address in svc_xprt for trace events") because there is now a specific check of event format specifiers for unsafe dereferences. The warning that check emits is: event svc_defer_recv has unsafe dereference of argument 1 A "%pISpc" format specifier with a "struct sockaddr *" is indeed flagged by this check. Instead, take the brute-force approach used by the svcrdma_qp_error tracepoint. Convert the dr::addr field into a presentation address in the TP_fast_assign() arm of the trace event, and store that as a string. This fix can be backported to -stable kernels. In the meantime, commit c6ced22997ad ("tracing: Update print fmt check to handle new __get_sockaddr() macro") is now in v5.18, so this wonky fix can be replaced with __sockaddr() and friends properly during the v5.19 merge window.
