Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to the version that includes the fix for the race condition between unloading and reloading kernel modules.
Description
A race condition in the Linux kernel has been resolved. The issue was caused by a bug introduced in 2009 and was fixed by removing the /proc/scsi/${proc name} directory earlier. This fix resolves a kernel warning that occurred when the
scsi/scsi debug proc dir entry was already registered. The warning was accompanied by a call trace that included functions such as proc register, proc mkdir, and scsi proc hostdir add.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to the fixed version, consider updating to a version that includes the fix for the race condition to prevent the kernel warning and potential issues related to the
scsi/scsi debug proc dir entry.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
