Overview

CVE-2024-26742 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on April 3, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

scsi: smartpqi: Fix disable_managed_interrupts

Correct blk-mq registration issue with module parameter

disable_managed_interrupts enabled.

When we turn off the default PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY flag, the driver needs to

register with blk-mq using blk_mq_map_queues(). The driver is currently

calling blk_mq_pci_map_queues() which results in a stack trace and possibly

undefined behavior.
