net/mlx5: Lag, fix failure to cancel delayed bond work

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.15% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 4d1c1379d71777ddeda3e54f8fc26e9ecbfd1009, 5df57bb04e91add52fb67e226209df9a17f06a89, 6.0.19.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 4d1c1379d71777ddeda3e54f8fc26e9ecbfd1009, 5df57bb04e91add52fb67e226209df9a17f06a89, 6.0.19 or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: Lag, fix failure to cancel delayed bond work Commit 0d4e8ed139d8 ("net/mlx5: Lag, avoid lockdep warnings") accidentally removed a call to cancel delayed bond work thus it may cause queued delay to expire and fall on an already destroyed work queue. Fix by restoring the call cancel_delayed_work_sync() before destroying the workqueue. This prevents call trace such as this: [ 329.230417] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 [ 329.231444] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode [ 329.232233] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page [ 329.233007] PGD 0 P4D 0 [ 329.233476] Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP [ 329.234012] CPU: 5 PID: 145 Comm: kworker/u20:4 Tainted: G OE 6.0.0-rc5_mlnx #1 [ 329.235282] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 [ 329.236868] Workqueue: mlx5_cmd_0000:08:00.1 cmd_work_handler [mlx5_core] [ 329.237886] RIP: 0010:_raw_spin_lock+0xc/0x20 [ 329.238585] Code: f0 0f b1 17 75 02 f3 c3 89 c6 e9 6f 3c 5f ff 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 40 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 31 c0 ba 01 00 00 00 <f0> 0f b1 17 75 02 f3 c3 89 c6 e9 45 3c 5f ff 0f 1f 44 00 00 0f 1f [ 329.241156] RSP: 0018:ffffc900001b0e98 EFLAGS: 00010046 [ 329.241940] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffffff82374ae0 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 329.242954] RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000014 RDI: 0000000000000000 [ 329.243974] RBP: ffff888106ccf000 R08: ffff8881004000c8 R09: ffff888100400000 [ 329.244990] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffffffff826669f8 R12: 0000000000002000 [ 329.246009] R13: 0000000000000005 R14: ffff888100aa7ce0 R15: ffff88852ca80000 [ 329.247030] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88852ca80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 329.248260] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 329.249111] CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 000000016d675001 CR4: 0000000000770ee0 [ 329.250133] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 329.251152] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 329.252176] PKRU: 55555554

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
