Overview

CVE-2024-53093 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on November 21, 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:

nvme-multipath: defer partition scanning

We need to suppress the partition scan from occuring within the

controller's scan_work context. If a path error occurs here, the IO will

wait until a path becomes available or all paths are torn down, but that

action also occurs within scan_work, so it would deadlock. Defer the

partion scan to a different context that does not block scan_work.

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.
