Technical description

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

nvme: tcp: avoid race between queue_lock lock and destroy

Commit 76d54bf20cdc ("nvme-tcp: don't access released socket during

error recovery") added a mutex_lock() call for the queue->queue_lock

in nvme_tcp_get_address(). However, the mutex_lock() races with

mutex_destroy() in nvme_tcp_free_queue(), and causes the WARN below.

DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock)

WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 34077 at kernel/locking/mutex.c:587 __mutex_lock+0xcf0/0x1220

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2024-53100?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
