| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.50
Description
The issue is related to the destruction of a workqueue from a work item running on it, triggered by a kref decrement. This situation is averted by adding a module-global workqueue for exclusive use of the offending work item. Other work items continue to be queued on per-device workqueues to ensure performance.
Recommendations
Update to Linux kernel version 6.6.50 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
destroy workqueue() function until a patch is available.
Avoid triggering a kref decrement that may lead to the destruction of a workqueue from a work item running on it.Exploit
