Title

cxl/features: Serialize multi-part Get/Set Feature transfers

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/features: Serialize multi-part Get/Set Feature transfers A Get or Set Feature payload larger than the mailbox payload size is split into several mailbox commands. mbox_mutex only serializes individual mailbox commands and is dropped between iterations of these loops. Nothing serializes the multi-part transfer as a whole. cxl_get_feature() and cxl_set_feature() are reachable concurrently from fwctl (per-fd RPCs run under a read-held registration lock) and from the EDAC scrub/ECS/repair paths, so two transfers to the same mailbox can interleave their parts and corrupt the device's transfer context. Add a per-mailbox feat_mutex and hold it across the whole transfer in both functions. It nests outside mbox_mutex (which is taken inside cxl_internal_send_cmd()), and is taken nowhere else, so no lock-ordering inversion is introduced.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-17 18:32 – Updated: 2026-09-17 18:32

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cxl/features: Serialize multi-part Get/Set Feature transfers

A Get or Set Feature payload larger than the mailbox payload size is split into several mailbox commands. mbox_mutex only serializes individual mailbox commands and is dropped between iterations of these loops. Nothing serializes the multi-part transfer as a whole. cxl_get_feature() and cxl_set_feature() are reachable concurrently from fwctl (per-fd RPCs run under a read-held registration lock) and from the EDAC scrub/ECS/repair paths, so two transfers to the same mailbox can interleave their parts and corrupt the device's transfer context.

Add a per-mailbox feat_mutex and hold it across the whole transfer in both functions. It nests outside mbox_mutex (which is taken inside cxl_internal_send_cmd()), and is taken nowhere else, so no lock-ordering inversion is introduced.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
