Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.65
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved, related to the nvme-multipath feature. The issue occurs when a partition scan is performed within the controller's scan work context, which can lead to a deadlock if a path error occurs. To fix this, the partition scan is deferred to a different context that does not block scan work.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 6.6.65, update to version 6.6.65 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the nvme-multipath feature until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable scan work context to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the
scan work context in the affected kernel version until the issue is resolved.Exploit
