Summary

In the Linux kernel vduse driver, there is a race between vduse_dev_msg_sync and vduse_dev_read_iter that can lead to a double list_del() crash. The fix ensures that vduse_msg is on send_list or recv_list outside the msg_lock critical section.

Risk Assessment

The race can lead to system crashes or improper driver operation, potentially affecting stability.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that eliminates the race by properly managing the lists.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vduse: Fix race in vduse_dev_msg_sync and vduse_dev_read_iter There is one race case in vduse_dev_msg_sync and vduse_dev_read_iter: vduse_dev_read_iter(): lock(msg_lock); dequeue_msg(send_list); unlock(msg_lock); vduse_dev_msg_sync(): wait_timeout() finish lock(msg_lock); check msg->complete is false list_del(msg); <- double list_del() crash! To fix this case, we shall ensure vduse_msg is on send_list or recv_list outside the msg_lock critical section.
