Description

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

scsi: ufs: core: Remove SCSI host only if added

If host tries to remove ufshcd driver from a UFS device it would cause a
kernel panic if ufshcd_async_scan fails during ufshcd_probe_hba before
adding a SCSI host with scsi_add_host and MCQ is enabled since SCSI host
has been defered after MCQ configuration introduced by commit 0cab4023ec7b
("scsi: ufs: core: Defer adding host to SCSI if MCQ is supported").

To guarantee that SCSI host is removed only if it has been added, set the
scsi_host_added flag to true after adding a SCSI host and check whether it
is set or not before removing it.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
