Title
vhost-scsi: Fix handling of multiple calls to vhost_scsi_set_endpoint
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vhost-scsi: Fix handling of multiple calls to vhost_scsi_set_endpoint If vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called multiple times without a vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint between them, we can hit multiple bugs found by Haoran Zhang: 1. Use-after-free when no tpgs are found: This fixes a use after free that occurs when vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called more than once and calls after the first call do not find any tpgs to add to the vs_tpg. When vhost_scsi_set_endpoint first finds tpgs to add to the vs_tpg array match=true, so we will do: vhost_vq_set_backend(vq, vs_tpg); ... kfree(vs->vs_tpg); vs->vs_tpg = vs_tpg; If vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called again and no tpgs are found match=false so we skip the vhost_vq_set_backend call leaving the pointer to the vs_tpg we then free via: kfree(vs->vs_tpg); vs->vs_tpg = vs_tpg; If a scsi request is then sent we do: vhost_scsi_handle_vq -> vhost_scsi_get_req -> vhost_vq_get_backend which sees the vs_tpg we just did a kfree on. 2. Tpg dir removal hang: This patch fixes an issue where we cannot remove a LIO/target layer tpg (and structs above it like the target) dir due to the refcount dropping to -1. The problem is that if vhost_scsi_set_endpoint detects a tpg is already in the vs->vs_tpg array or if the tpg has been removed so target_depend_item fails, the undepend goto handler will do target_undepend_item on all tpgs in the vs_tpg array dropping their refcount to 0. At this time vs_tpg contains both the tpgs we have added in the current vhost_scsi_set_endpoint call as well as tpgs we added in previous calls which are also in vs->vs_tpg. Later, when vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint runs it will do target_undepend_item on all the tpgs in the vs->vs_tpg which will drop their refcount to -1. Userspace will then not be able to remove the tpg and will hang when it tries to do rmdir on the tpg dir. 3. Tpg leak: This fixes a bug where we can leak tpgs and cause them to be un-removable because the target name is overwritten when vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called multiple times but with different target names. The bug occurs if a user has called VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT and setup a vhost-scsi device to target/tpg mapping, then calls VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT again with a new target name that has tpgs we haven't seen before (target1 has tpg1 but target2 has tpg2). When this happens we don't teardown the old target tpg mapping and just overwrite the target name and the vs->vs_tpg array. Later when we do vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint, we are passed in either target1 or target2's name and we will only match that target's tpgs when we loop over the vs->vs_tpg. We will then return from the function without doing target_undepend_item on the tpgs. Because of all these bugs, it looks like being able to call vhost_scsi_set_endpoint multiple times was never supported. The major user, QEMU, already has checks to prevent this use case. So to fix the issues, this patch prevents vhost_scsi_set_endpoint from being called if it's already successfully added tpgs. To add, remove or change the tpg config or target name, you must do a vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint first.

Use-after-free when no tpgs are found:\n\nThis fixes a use after free that occurs when vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is\ncalled more than once and calls after the first call do not find any\ntpgs to add to the vs_tpg. When vhost_scsi_set_endpoint first finds\ntpgs to add to the vs_tpg array match=true, so we will do:\n\nvhost_vq_set_backend(vq, vs_tpg);\n...\n\nkfree(vs-\u003evs_tpg);\nvs-\u003evs_tpg = vs_tpg;\n\nIf vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called again and no tpgs are found\nmatch=false so we skip the vhost_vq_set_backend call leaving the\npointer to the vs_tpg we then free via:\n\nkfree(vs-\u003evs_tpg);\nvs-\u003evs_tpg = vs_tpg;\n\nIf a scsi request is then sent we do:\n\nvhost_scsi_handle_vq -\u003e vhost_scsi_get_req -\u003e vhost_vq_get_backend\n\nwhich sees the vs_tpg we just did a kfree on.\n\n2. Tpg dir removal hang:\n\nThis patch fixes an issue where we cannot remove a LIO/target layer\ntpg (and structs above it like the target) dir due to the refcount\ndropping to -1.\n\nThe problem is that if vhost_scsi_set_endpoint detects a tpg is already\nin the vs-\u003evs_tpg array or if the tpg has been removed so\ntarget_depend_item fails, the undepend goto handler will do\ntarget_undepend_item on all tpgs in the vs_tpg array dropping their\nrefcount to 0. At this time vs_tpg contains both the tpgs we have added\nin the current vhost_scsi_set_endpoint call as well as tpgs we added in\nprevious calls which are also in vs-\u003evs_tpg.\n\nLater, when vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint runs it will do\ntarget_undepend_item on all the tpgs in the vs-\u003evs_tpg which will drop\ntheir refcount to -1. Userspace will then not be able to remove the tpg\nand will hang when it tries to do rmdir on the tpg dir.\n\n3. Tpg leak:\n\nThis fixes a bug where we can leak tpgs and cause them to be\nun-removable because the target name is overwritten when\nvhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called multiple times but with different\ntarget names.\n\nThe bug occurs if a user has called VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT and setup\na vhost-scsi device to target/tpg mapping, then calls\nVHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT again with a new target name that has tpgs we\nhaven\u0027t seen before (target1 has tpg1 but target2 has tpg2).

Heap-spraying the freed 2048-byte kmalloc-2k object is standard and entirely under the attacker\u0027s control.\nPR:L - Neither `vhost_scsi_open()`, `vhost_scsi_ioctl()`, nor the vhost core performs any `capable()`/`CAP_*` check \u2014 only an open fd on `/dev/vhost-scsi` is needed, which the unprivileged QEMU/libvirt-qemu process routinely holds in any host actually using vhost-scsi. A compromised or malicious deprivileged VMM process reaches the bug with a single additional ioctl, so no real root is required.\nUI:N - The attacker performs both ioctls and the subsequent virtqueue kick entirely on its own; no action by any other user or administrator is needed. The LIO tpg configuration is pre-existing baseline state in any vhost-scsi deployment, not a victim action.\nS:U - The dangling backend and corrupted heap are host kernel memory, and the attacker is already a host-local process, so the compromise stays within the kernel\u0027s own security authority. This is standard local kernel privilege escalation rather than a VM-escape or IOMMU boundary crossing.\nC:H - `vhost_scsi_get_req()` performs `READ_ONCE(vs_tpg[*vc-\u003etarget])` on the freed array with an attacker-chosen index, then downstream code dereferences the resulting pointer, giving a use-after-free read that can be steered into arbitrary kernel memory disclosure. Per UAF guidance the attacker controls the contents of the reclaimed slab object, enabling arbitrary read.\nI:H - Reclaiming the freed kmalloc-2k object yields a fully attacker-controlled `struct vhost_scsi_tpg *` that is dereferenced and whose `tpg_nexus-\u003etvn_se_sess` is passed into `target_init_cmd()`/`target_submit_tmr()`, a classic fake-object path to arbitrary write and control-flow hijack. The configfs `config_item` refcount underflow to \u22121 additionally corrupts target-core object lifetime state.\nA:H - The dangling backend reliably produces a kernel oops/panic on the next SCSI request even without successful exploitation. The refcount underflow also permanently wedges the LIO tpg so `rmdir` on the tpg/target directory hangs and the objects can never be removed short of reboot."

Use-after-free when no tpgs are found:\\n\\nThis fixes a use after free that occurs when vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is\\ncalled more than once and calls after the first call do not find any\\ntpgs to add to the vs_tpg. When vhost_scsi_set_endpoint first finds\\ntpgs to add to the vs_tpg array match=true, so we will do:\\n\\nvhost_vq_set_backend(vq, vs_tpg);\\n...\\n\\nkfree(vs-\u003evs_tpg);\\nvs-\u003evs_tpg = vs_tpg;\\n\\nIf vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called again and no tpgs are found\\nmatch=false so we skip the vhost_vq_set_backend call leaving the\\npointer to the vs_tpg we then free via:\\n\\nkfree(vs-\u003evs_tpg);\\nvs-\u003evs_tpg = vs_tpg;\\n\\nIf a scsi request is then sent we do:\\n\\nvhost_scsi_handle_vq -\u003e vhost_scsi_get_req -\u003e vhost_vq_get_backend\\n\\nwhich sees the vs_tpg we just did a kfree on.\\n\\n2. Tpg dir removal hang:\\n\\nThis patch fixes an issue where we cannot remove a LIO/target layer\\ntpg (and structs above it like the target) dir due to the refcount\\ndropping to -1.\\n\\nThe problem is that if vhost_scsi_set_endpoint detects a tpg is already\\nin the vs-\u003evs_tpg array or if the tpg has been removed so\\ntarget_depend_item fails, the undepend goto handler will do\\ntarget_undepend_item on all tpgs in the vs_tpg array dropping their\\nrefcount to 0. At this time vs_tpg contains both the tpgs we have added\\nin the current vhost_scsi_set_endpoint call as well as tpgs we added in\\nprevious calls which are also in vs-\u003evs_tpg.\\n\\nLater, when vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint runs it will do\\ntarget_undepend_item on all the tpgs in the vs-\u003evs_tpg which will drop\\ntheir refcount to -1. Userspace will then not be able to remove the tpg\\nand will hang when it tries to do rmdir on the tpg dir.\\n\\n3. Tpg leak:\\n\\nThis fixes a bug where we can leak tpgs and cause them to be\\nun-removable because the target name is overwritten when\\nvhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called multiple times but with different\\ntarget names.\\n\\nThe bug occurs if a user has called VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT and setup\\na vhost-scsi device to target/tpg mapping, then calls\\nVHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT again with a new target name that has tpgs we\\nhaven\u0027t seen before (target1 has tpg1 but target2 has tpg2). When this\\nhappens we don\u0027t teardown the old target tpg mapping and just overwrite\\nthe target name and the vs-\u003evs_tpg array.

Cuando vhost_scsi_set_endpoint encuentra primero tpgs para agregar a la matriz vs_tpg match=true, entonces haremos: vhost_vq_set_backend(vq, vs_tpg); ... kfree(vs-\u0026gt;vs_tpg); vs-\u0026gt;vs_tpg = vs_tpg; Si se llama nuevamente a vhost_scsi_set_endpoint y no se encuentran tpgs, match=false, por lo que omitimos la llamada a vhost_vq_set_backend dejando el puntero al vs_tpg que luego liberamos mediante: kfree(vs-\u0026gt;vs_tpg); vs-\u0026gt;vs_tpg = vs_tpg; Si luego se env\u00eda una solicitud scsi, hacemos: vhost_scsi_handle_vq -\u0026gt; vhost_scsi_get_req -\u0026gt; vhost_vq_get_backend que ve el vs_tpg en el que acabamos de realizar un kfree. 2. Se bloquea la eliminaci\u00f3n del directorio tpg: este parche corrige un problema por el cual no podemos eliminar un directorio tpg de capa LIO/objetivo (y estructuras por encima de \u00e9l como el objetivo) debido a que el recuento de referencias cae a -1. El problema radica en que si vhost_scsi_set_endpoint detecta que ya hay un TPG en la matriz vs-\u0026gt;vs_tpg, o si este se ha eliminado y, por lo tanto, target_depend_item falla, el controlador goto undepend ejecutar\u00e1 `target_undepend_item` en todos los TPG de la matriz vs_tpg, reduciendo su recuento de referencias a 0. En este momento, vs_tpg contiene tanto los TPG que hemos a\u00f1adido en la llamada actual a vhost_scsi_set_endpoint como los TPG a\u00f1adidos en llamadas anteriores que tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1n en vs-\u0026gt;vs_tpg. Posteriormente, al ejecutarse vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint, ejecutar\u00e1 `target_undepend_item` en todos los TPG de vs-\u0026gt;vs_tpg, lo que reducir\u00e1 su recuento de referencias a -1. En ese caso, el espacio de usuario no podr\u00e1 eliminar el TPG y se bloquear\u00e1 al intentar ejecutar `rmdir` en el directorio del TPG. 3. Fuga de TPG: Esto corrige un error que permit\u00eda filtrar TPG y hacer que no se pudieran eliminar, ya que el nombre del objetivo se sobrescrib\u00eda al llamar a vhost_scsi_set_endpoint varias veces, pero con nombres de objetivo diferentes. El error se produce si un usuario llama a VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT y configura un dispositivo vhost-scsi para la asignaci\u00f3n de destino/TPG, y luego vuelve a llamar a VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT con un nuevo nombre de objetivo que contiene TPG desconocidos (target1 tiene TPG1, pero target2 tiene TPG2). En este caso, no se elimina la antigua asignaci\u00f3n de TPG del objetivo, sino que se sobrescribe el nombre del objetivo y la matriz vs-\u0026gt;vs_tpg. Posteriormente, al ejecutar vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint, se pasa el nombre de target1 o target2, y solo se coincidir\u00e1n los TPG de ese objetivo al recorrer vs-\u0026gt;vs_tpg. Luego, regresaremos de la funci\u00f3n sin ejecutar `target_undepend_item` en los tpgs. Debido a todos estos errores, parece que nunca se permiti\u00f3 llamar a `vhost_scsi_set_endpoint` varias veces. El usuario principal, QEMU, ya cuenta con comprobaciones para evitar este caso de uso. Por lo tanto, para solucionar los problemas, este parche impide que se llame a `vhost_scsi_set_endpoint` si ya se han agregado correctamente los tpgs. Para agregar, eliminar o cambiar la configuraci\u00f3n de `tpg` o el nombre del destino, primero debe ejecutar `vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint`.\"}],\"affected\":[{\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"affectedData\":[{\"vendor\":\"Linux\",\"product\":\"Linux\",\"defaultStatus\":\"unaffected\",\"programFiles\":[\"drivers/vhost/scsi.c\"],\"repo\":\"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"4f7f46d32c9875004fae1d57ae3c02cc2e6cd6a3\",\"lessThan\":\"451c72f5e7cf5d339a6410a635cee0825687c3dc\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"4f7f46d32c9875004fae1d57ae3c02cc2e6cd6a3\",\"lessThan\":\"2b34bdc42df047794542f3e220fe989124e4499a\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"4f7f46d32c9875004fae1d57ae3c02cc2e6cd6a3\",\"lessThan\":\"3a19eb3d9818e28f14c818a18dc913344a52ca92\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"4f7f46d32c9875004fae1d57ae3c02cc2e6cd6a3\",\"lessThan\":\"3fd054baf382a426bbf5135ede0fc5673db74d3e\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"4f7f46d32c9875004fae1d57ae3c02cc2e6cd6a3\",\"lessThan\":\"63b449f73ab0dcc0ba11ceaa4c5c70bc86ccf03c\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"4f7f46d32c9875004fae1d57ae3c02cc2e6cd6a3\",\"lessThan\":\"5dd639a1646ef5fe8f4bf270fad47c5c3755b9b6\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"}]},{\"vendor\":\"Linux\",\"product\":\"Linux\",\"defaultStatus\":\"affected\",\"programFiles\":[\"drivers/vhost/scsi.c\"],\"repo\":\"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"3.9\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"0\",\"lessThan\":\"3.9\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.1.162\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.1.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.6.87\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.6.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.12.23\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.12.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.13.11\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.13.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.14.2\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.14.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.15\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"*\",\"versionType\":\"original_commit_for_fix\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"}]}]},{\"source\":\"0b142b55-0307-4c5a-b3c9-f314f3fb7c5e\",\"affectedData\":[{\"vendor\":\"Siemens\",\"product\":\"SIMATIC
