Summary

In vhost-scsi, a race condition between command submission and memory table replacement (VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE) could cause response writes to an unrelated object after completion. The fix flushes the backend after ioctl.

Risk Assessment

Could lead to data corruption or privilege escalation in virtualized environments (e.g., via malicious VMs).

Recommendation

Update the kernel to prevent the race and ensure vhost-scsi correctness.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vhost-scsi: flush backend after device ioctls vhost-scsi translates guest response descriptors into userspace iovecs when commands are submitted. Target-core completes those commands asynchronously, so VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE can replace the memory table while an in-flight command still retains response iovecs translated through the old table. If the old mapping is reused after VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE returns, command completion can write the response to an unrelated userspace object. Flush the vhost-scsi backend after vhost_dev_ioctl() handles a device ioctl. This waits for in-flight commands that can still use the old response iovecs before the ioctl returns.
