However, when the underlying interface has been\nunregistered, netconsole_netdev_event() moves the target from\ntarget_list to target_cleanup_list, and netconsole_process_cleanups_core()\nwalks that list under target_cleanup_list_lock only.\n\nIf a user removes the configfs target at the same time the cleanup\nworker is iterating target_cleanup_list, list_del() can corrupt the list\nbecause the two paths take disjoint locks while operating on the same\nlist node.\n\nAcquire target_cleanup_list_lock around the list_del() so the unlink is\nserialised against netconsole_process_cleanups_core() regardless of\nwhich list the target currently belongs to. The state transition that\ndowngrades STATE_DEACTIVATED to STATE_DISABLED is left intact and is\nperformed under the same combined locking, preserving the existing\nordering with resume_target()."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/netconsole.c"],"versions":[{"version":"97714695ef904a4bdba75ca2f339215c0ae2b1fa","lessThan":"84592ee22f7d1583ce33aa733411ff36c7a1c44c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"97714695ef904a4bdba75ca2f339215c0ae2b1fa","lessThan":"fe8e6c0a2f28bdab14cdf7eff4dd9755d3793007","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"97714695ef904a4bdba75ca2f339215c0ae2b1fa","lessThan":"91aeb87f052367a5a2743cc93777dfb4386f2f14","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/netconsole.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.12","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.12","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.111","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.53","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.111"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.53"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.12","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/84592ee22f7d1583ce33aa733411ff36c7a1c44c"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fe8e6c0a2f28bdab14cdf7eff4dd9755d3793007"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/91aeb87f052367a5a2743cc93777dfb4386f2f14"}],"title":"netconsole: take target_cleanup_list_lock in drop_netconsole_target()","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
