CVE-2024-37353 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2024-37353: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio: delete vq in vp_find_vqs_msix() when request_irq() fails When request_irq() fails, error path calls vp_del_vqs(). There, as vq is present in the list, free_irq() is called for the same vector. That causes following splat: [ 0.414355] Trying to free already-free IRQ 27 [ 0.414403] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at kernel/irq/manage.c:1899 free_irq+0x1a1/0x2d0 [ 0.414510] Modules linked in: [ 0.414540] CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.9.0-rc4+ #27 [ 0.414540] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.3-1.fc39 04/01/2014 [ 0.414540] RIP: 0010:free_irq+0x1a1/0x2d0 [ 0.414540] Code: 1e 00 48 83 c4 08 48 89 e8 5b 5d 41 5c 41 5d 41 5e 41 5f c3 cc cc cc cc 90 8b 74 24 04 48 c7 c7 98 80 6c b1 e8 00 c9 f7 ff 90 <0f> 0b 90 90 48 89 ee 4c 89 ef e8 e0 20 b8 00 49 8b 47 40 48 8b 40 [ 0.414540] RSP: 0000:ffffb71480013ae0 EFLAGS: 00010086 [ 0.414540] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffa099c2722000 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 0.414540] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffb71480013998 RDI: 0000000000000001 [ 0.414540] RBP: 0000000000000246 R08: 00000000ffffdfff R09: 0000000000000001 [ 0.414540] R10: 00000000ffffdfff R11: ffffffffb18729c0 R12: ffffa099c1c91760 [ 0.414540] R13: ffffa099c1c916a4 R14: ffffa099c1d2f200 R15: ffffa099c1c91600 [ 0.414540] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffffa099fec40000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 0.414540] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 0.414540] CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000008e3e001 CR4: 0000000000370ef0 [ 0.414540] Call Trace: [ 0.414540] <TASK> [ 0.414540] ? __warn+0x80/0x120 [ 0.414540] ? free_irq+0x1a1/0x2d0 [ 0.414540] ? report_bug+0x164/0x190 [ 0.414540] ? handle_bug+0x3b/0x70 [ 0.414540] ? exc_invalid_op+0x17/0x70 [ 0.414540] ? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x1a/0x20 [ 0.414540] ? free_irq+0x1a1/0x2d0 [ 0.414540] vp_del_vqs+0xc1/0x220 [ 0.414540] vp_find_vqs_msix+0x305/0x470 [ 0.414540] vp_find_vqs+0x3e/0x1a0 [ 0.414540] vp_modern_find_vqs+0x1b/0x70 [ 0.414540] init_vqs+0x387/0x600 [ 0.414540] virtnet_probe+0x50a/0xc80 [ 0.414540] virtio_dev_probe+0x1e0/0x2b0 [ 0.414540] really_probe+0xc0/0x2c0 [ 0.414540] ? __pfx___driver_attach+0x10/0x10 [ 0.414540] __driver_probe_device+0x73/0x120 [ 0.414540] driver_probe_device+0x1f/0xe0 [ 0.414540] __driver_attach+0x88/0x180 [ 0.414540] bus_for_each_dev+0x85/0xd0 [ 0.414540] bus_add_driver+0xec/0x1f0 [ 0.414540] driver_register+0x59/0x100 [ 0.414540] ? __pfx_virtio_net_driver_init+0x10/0x10 [ 0.414540] virtio_net_driver_init+0x90/0xb0 [ 0.414540] do_one_initcall+0x58/0x230 [ 0.414540] kernel_init_freeable+0x1a3/0x2d0 [ 0.414540] ? __pfx_kernel_init+0x10/0x10 [ 0.414540] kernel_init+0x1a/0x1c0 [ 0.414540] ret_from_fork+0x31/0x50 [ 0.414540] ? __pfx_kernel_init+0x10/0x10 [ 0.414540] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 [ 0.414540] </TASK> Fix this by calling deleting the current vq when request_irq() fails.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2024-37353

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2024-37353 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2024-37353

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2024-37353.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2024-37353, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis
