CVE-2024-44995: net: hns3: fix a deadlock problem when config TC during resetting
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: 0.19% (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 195918217448a6bb7f929d6a2ffffce9f1ece1cc, 67492d4d105c0a6321b00c393eec96b9a7a97a16, 6ae2b7d63cd056f363045eb65409143e16f23ae8; Azure Linux 3.0 ARM 6.6.51.1-1; Azure Linux 3.0 x64 6.6.51.1-1.
- Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 7.8, NVD 5.5.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 195918217448a6bb7f929d6a2ffffce9f1ece1cc, 67492d4d105c0a6321b00c393eec96b9a7a97a16, 6ae2b7d63cd056f363045eb65409143e16f23ae8; Azure Linux 3.0 ARM 6.6.51.1-1; Azure Linux 3.0 x64 6.6.51.1-1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hns3: fix a deadlock problem when config TC during resetting When config TC during the reset process, may cause a deadlock, the flow is as below: pf reset start │ ▼ ...... setup tc │ │ ▼ ▼ DOWN: napi_disable() napi_disable()(skip) │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ...... ...... │ │ ▼ │ napi_enable() │ ▼ UINIT: netif_napi_del() │ ▼ ...... │ ▼ INIT: netif_napi_add() │ ▼ ...... global reset start │ │ ▼ ▼ UP: napi_enable()(skip) ...... │ │ ▼ ▼ ...... napi_disable() In reset process, the driver will DOWN the port and then UINIT, in this case, the setup tc process will UP the port before UINIT, so cause the problem. Adds a DOWN process in UINIT to fix it.

Exploit status
No known public exploit
No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.
Research context
For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.
Timeline
From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.
No dated events beyond publication.
No history yet (it accumulates with the daily EPSS job).
Patch and commit links
Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.
No commit or PR link among the references.
Credits

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.
