CVE-2022-50382

MEDIUM

Linux Kernel 5.8-5.10.162, 5.11-5.15.85, 5.16-6.0.15, 6.1.0-6.1.1 - Deadlock via padata Parallel Execution

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: padata: Always leave BHs disabled when running ->parallel() A deadlock can happen when an overloaded system runs ->parallel() in the context of the current task: padata_do_parallel ->parallel() pcrypt_aead_enc/dec padata_do_serial spin_lock(&reorder->lock) // BHs still enabled <interrupt> ... __do_softirq ... padata_do_serial spin_lock(&reorder->lock) It's a bug for BHs to be on in _do_serial as Steffen points out, so ensure they're off in the "current task" case like they are in padata_parallel_worker to avoid this situation.
