CVE-2024-35998 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb3: fix lock ordering potential deadlock in cifs_sync_mid_result Coverity spotted that the cifs_sync_mid_result function could deadlock "Thread deadlock (ORDER_REVERSAL) lock_order: Calling spin_lock acquires lock TCP_Server_Info.srv_lock while holding lock TCP_Server_Info.mid_lock" Addresses-Coverity: 1590401 ("Thread deadlock (ORDER_REVERSAL)")
A potential deadlock vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's CIFS (Common Internet File System) implementation for SMB3 (Server Message Block version 3). The issue arises in the 'cifs_sync_mid_result' function, where improper lock ordering can lead to a thread deadlock. Specifically, the function acquires the 'srv_lock' while holding the 'mid_lock', creating an order reversal that Coverity analysis flagged as a deadlock risk.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed. The specific commit that resolves this issue is available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
