Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-35808

medium Nessus Plugin ID 228994

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: md/dm-raid: don't call md_reap_sync_thread() directly Currently md_reap_sync_thread() is called from raid_message() directly without holding 'reconfig_mutex', this is definitely unsafe because md_reap_sync_thread() can change many fields that is protected by 'reconfig_mutex'. However, hold 'reconfig_mutex' here is still problematic because this will cause deadlock, for example, commit 130443d60b1b (md: refactor idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock). Fix this problem by using stop_sync_thread() to unregister sync_thread, like md/raid did. (CVE-2024-35808)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
