CVE ID: | CVE-2021-47369 |
Description: | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/qeth: fix NULL deref in qeth_clear_working_pool_list() When
qeth_set_online() calls qeth_clear_working_pool_list() to roll back
after an error exit from qeth_hardsetup_card(), we are at risk of
accessing card->qdio.in_q before it was allocated by
qeth_alloc_qdio_queues() via qeth_mpc_initialize().
qeth_clear_working_pool_list() then dereferences NULL, and by writing
to queue->bufs[i].pool_entry scribbles all over the CPU's lowcore.
Resulting in a crash when those lowcore areas are used next (eg. on
the next machine-check interrupt). Such a scenario would typically
happen when the device is first set online and its queues aren't
allocated yet. An early IO error or certain misconfigs (eg. mismatched
transport mode, bad portno) then cause us to error out from
qeth_hardsetup_card() with card->qdio.in_q still being NULL. Fix it by
checking the pointer for NULL before accessing it. Note that we also
have (rare) paths inside qeth_mpc_initialize() where a configuration
change can cause us to free the existing queues, expecting that
subsequent code will allocate them again. If we then error out before
that re-allocation happens, the same bug occurs. Root-caused-by: Heiko
