Summary

In the Linux kernel's QAT (Intel) crypto driver, a synchronization bug was fixed where iterations over the service_table list were not protected by the service_lock. This could lead to list corruption or a use-after-free bug during concurrent service registration/removal operations.

Risk Assessment

Lack of synchronization could allow an attacker to exploit a race condition to corrupt memory or execute code in kernel context, compromising system stability and security.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for CVE-2026-64305.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: qat - protect service table iterations with service_lock The service_table list is protected by service_lock when entries are added or removed (in adf_service_add() and adf_service_remove()), but several functions iterate over the list without holding this lock. A concurrent adf_service_register() or adf_service_unregister() call could modify the list during traversal, leading to list corruption or a use-after-free. Fix this by holding service_lock across all list_for_each_entry() iterations of service_table in adf_dev_init(), adf_dev_start(), adf_dev_stop(), adf_dev_shutdown(), adf_dev_restarting_notify(), adf_dev_restarted_notify(), and adf_error_notifier(). The lock ordering is safe: callers of the static helpers (adf_dev_up() and adf_dev_down()) acquire state_lock before service_lock, and no event_hld callback or service_lock holder ever acquires state_lock in the reverse order.
