CVE-2024-50184

Disclosure Date: November 08, 2024
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

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

virtio_pmem: Check device status before requesting flush

If a pmem device is in a bad status, the driver side could wait for
host ack forever in virtio_pmem_flush(), causing the system to hang.

So add a status check in the beginning of virtio_pmem_flush() to return
early if the device is not activated.
