Summary

In the Linux kernel's device mapper, a vulnerability was found in the dm_blk_report_zones function, which checks the device's suspended state without holding a lock. The device could be suspended right after the check, leading to a race condition.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this race condition to access the device during suspension, potentially leading to data corruption or unexpected system behavior.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for this vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm: fix unlocked test for dm_suspended_md The function dm_blk_report_zones tests if the device is suspended with the "dm_suspended_md" call. However, this function is called without holding any locks, so the device may be suspended just after it. Move the call to dm_suspended_md after dm_get_live_table, so that the device can't be suspended after the suspended state was tested.
