CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: kernel (CVE-2024-47696)

high Nessus Plugin ID 212864

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-47696 advisory.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/iwcm: Fix WARNING:at_kernel/workqueue.c:#check_flush_dependency In the commit aee2424246f9 (RDMA/iwcm: Fix a use- after-free related to destroying CM IDs), the function flush_workqueue is invoked to flush the work queue iwcm_wq. But at that time, the work queue iwcm_wq was created via the function alloc_ordered_workqueue without the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM. Because the current process is trying to flush the whole iwcm_wq, if iwcm_wq doesn't have the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, verify that the current process is not reclaiming memory or running on a workqueue which doesn't have the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM as that can break forward-progress guarantee leading to a deadlock. The call trace is as below: [ 125.350876][ T1430] Call Trace: [ 125.356281][ T1430] <TASK> [ 125.361285][ T1430] ? __warn (kernel/panic.c:693) [ 125.367640][ T1430] ? check_flush_dependency (kernel/workqueue.c:3706 (discriminator 9)) [ 125.375689][ T1430] ? report_bug (lib/bug.c:180 lib/bug.c:219) [ 125.382505][ T1430] ? handle_bug (arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:239) [ 125.388987][ T1430] ? exc_invalid_op (arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:260 (discriminator 1)) [ 125.395831][ T1430] ? asm_exc_invalid_op (arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:621) [ 125.403125][ T1430] ? check_flush_dependency (kernel/workqueue.c:3706 (discriminator 9)) [ 125.410984][ T1430] ? check_flush_dependency (kernel/workqueue.c:3706 (discriminator 9)) [ 125.418764][ T1430] __flush_workqueue (kernel/workqueue.c:3970) [ 125.426021][ T1430] ? __pfx___might_resched (kernel/sched/core.c:10151) [ 125.433431][ T1430] ? destroy_cm_id (drivers/infiniband/core/iwcm.c:375) iw_cm [ 125.441209][ T1430] ?
