Technical description

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

scsi: ufs: core: Set SDEV_OFFLINE when UFS is shut down

There is a history of deadlock if reboot is performed at the beginning

of booting. SDEV_QUIESCE was set for all LU's scsi_devices by UFS

shutdown, and at that time the audio driver was waiting on

blk_mq_submit_bio() holding a mutex_lock while reading the fw binary.

After that, a deadlock issue occurred while audio driver shutdown was

waiting for mutex_unlock of blk_mq_submit_bio(). To solve this, set

SDEV_OFFLINE for all LUs except WLUN, so that any I/O that comes down

after a UFS shutdown will return an error.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2024-50098?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2024-50098 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
