Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2024-53092 (Linux). CVSS 8.4 → 5.5 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_pci: Fix admin vq cleanup by using correct info pointer
vp_modern_avq_cleanup() and vp_del_vqs() clean up admin vq
resources by virtio_pci_vq_info pointer. The info pointer of admin
vq is stored in vp_dev->admin_vq.info instead of vp_dev->vqs[].
Using the info pointer from vp_dev->vqs[] for admin vq causes a
kernel NULL pointer dereference bug.
In vp_modern_avq_cleanup() and vp_del_vqs(), get the info pointer
from vp_dev->admin_vq.info for admin vq to clean up the resources.
Also make info ptr as argument of vp_del_vq() to be symmetric with
vp_setup_vq().
vp_reset calls vp_modern_avq_cleanup, and causes the Call Trace:
