medium Nessus Plugin ID 225688

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nbd: fix io hung while disconnecting device In our tests, qemu-nbd triggers a io hung: INFO: task qemu-nbd:11445 blocked for more than 368 seconds.

 Then, qemu-nbd -d will call ioctl 'NBD_CLEAR_SOCK', however ioctl can't clear requests after commit 2516ab1543fd(nbd: only clear the queue on device teardown). And in the meantime, request can't complete through timeout because nbd_xmit_timeout() will always return 'BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER', which means such request will never be completed in this situation. Now that the flag 'NBD_CMD_INFLIGHT' can make sure requests won't complete multiple times, switch back to call nbd_clear_sock() in nbd_clear_sock_ioctl(), so that inflight requests can be cleared. (CVE-2022-49297)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
