      <title>CVE-2024-56714 — ionic: no double destroy workqueue</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-56714</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ionic: no double destroy workqueue&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are some FW error handling paths that can cause us to
try to destroy the workqueue more than once, so let&amp;#39;s be sure
we&amp;#39;re checking for that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The case where this popped up was in an AER event where the
handlers got called in such a way that ionic_reset_prepare()
and thus ionic_dev_teardown() got called twice in a row.
The second time through the workqueue was already destroyed,
and destroy_workqueue() choked on the bad wq pointer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We didn&amp;#39;t hit this in AER handler testing before because at
that time we weren&amp;#39;t using a private workqueue.  Later we
replaced the use of the system workqueue with our own private
workqueue but hadn&amp;#39;t rerun the AER handler testing since then.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
