high Nessus Plugin ID 225723

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: ice: fix 'scheduling while atomic' on aux critical err interrupt There's a kernel BUG splat on processing aux critical error interrupts in ice_misc_intr(): [ 2100.917085] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/15/0/0x00010000 ... [ 2101.060770] Call Trace: [ 2101.063229] <IRQ> [ 2101.065252] dump_stack+0x41/0x60 [ 2101.068587]

As Andrew correctly mentioned previously[0], the following call ladder happens: ice_misc_intr() <- hardirq ice_send_event_to_aux() device_lock() mutex_lock() might_sleep() might_resched() <- oops Add a new PF state bit which indicates that an aux critical error occurred and serve it in ice_service_task() in process context. The new ice_pf::oicr_err_reg is read-write in both hardirq and process contexts, but only 3 bits of non-critical data probably aren't worth explicit synchronizing (and they're even in the same byte [31:24]).

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