7.5 · HIGHOverview
CVE-2024-26845 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on April 17, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: core: Add TMF to tmr_list handling
An abort that is responded to by iSCSI itself is added to tmr_list but does
not go to target core. A LUN_RESET that goes through tmr_list takes a
refcounter on the abort and waits for completion. However, the abort will
be never complete because it was not started in target core.
Unable to locate ITT: 0x05000000 on CID: 0
Unable to locate RefTaskTag: 0x05000000 on CID: 0.
