5.5 MEDIUM — CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: virtio - Add spinlock protection with virtqueue notification When VM boots with one virtio-crypto PCI device and builtin backend, run openssl benchmark command with multiple processes, such as openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc -engine afalg -seconds 10 -multi 32 openssl processes will hangup and there is error reported like this: virtio_crypto virtio0: dataq.0:id 3 is not a head! It seems that the data virtqueue need protection when it is handled for virtio done notification. If the spinlock protection is added in virtcrypto_done_task(), openssl benchmark with multiple processes works well.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.19.306 < 4.20) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.4.268 < 5.5) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.10.209 < 5.10.251) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.15.148 < 5.15.201) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.1.75 < 6.1.164) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.6.14 < 6.6.125) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7.2 < 6.12.72) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.11) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.1)
