Technical description

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

nvme: move stopping keep-alive into nvme_uninit_ctrl()

Commit 4733b65d82bd ("nvme: start keep-alive after admin queue setup")

moves starting keep-alive from nvme_start_ctrl() into

nvme_init_ctrl_finish(), but don't move stopping keep-alive into

nvme_uninit_ctrl(), so keep-alive work can be started and keep pending

after failing to start controller, finally use-after-free is triggered if

nvme host driver is unloaded.

This patch fixes kernel panic when running nvme/004 in case that connection

failure is triggered, by moving stopping keep-alive into nvme_uninit_ctrl().

This way is reasonable because keep-alive is now started in

nvme_init_ctrl_finish().

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
