DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38074
No affected components available
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vhost-scsi: protect vq->log_used with vq->mutex The vhost-scsi completion path may access vq->log_base when vq->log_used is already set to false. vhost-thread QEMU-thread vhost_scsi_complete_cmd_work() -> vhost_add_used() -> vhost_add_used_n() if (unlikely(vq->log_used)) QEMU disables vq->log_used via VHOST_SET_VRING_ADDR. mutex_lock(&vq->mutex); vq->log_used = false now! mutex_unlock(&vq->mutex); QEMU gfree(vq->log_base) log_used() -> log_write(vq->log_base) Assuming the VMM is QEMU. The vq->log_base is from QEMU userpace and can be reclaimed via gfree(). As a result, this causes invalid memory writes to QEMU userspace. The control queue path has the same issue.
The vulnerability requires local access to the device to be exploited. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker needs basic access or low-level privileges. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a high impact on the availability of the system.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
Probability that this vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days.
