Vulnerability Details CVE-2024-53167
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfs/blocklayout: Don't attempt unregister for invalid block device
Since commit d869da91cccb ("nfs/blocklayout: Fix premature PR key
unregistration") an unmount of a pNFS SCSI layout-enabled NFS may
dereference a NULL block_device in:
bl_unregister_scsi+0x16/0xe0 [blocklayoutdriver]
bl_free_device+0x70/0x80 [blocklayoutdriver]
bl_free_deviceid_node+0x12/0x30 [blocklayoutdriver]
nfs4_put_deviceid_node+0x60/0xc0 [nfsv4]
nfs4_deviceid_purge_client+0x132/0x190 [nfsv4]
unset_pnfs_layoutdriver+0x59/0x60 [nfsv4]
nfs4_destroy_server+0x36/0x70 [nfsv4]
nfs_free_server+0x23/0xe0 [nfs]
deactivate_locked_super+0x30/0xb0
cleanup_mnt+0xba/0x150
task_work_run+0x59/0x90
syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x217/0x220
do_syscall_64+0x8e/0x160
This happens because even though we were able to create the
nfs4_deviceid_node, the lookup for the device was unable to attach the
block device to the pnfs_block_dev.
If we never found a block device to register, we can avoid this case with
the PNFS_BDEV_REGISTERED flag. Move the deref behind the test for the
flag.
