An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-47178 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47178/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47178/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-47178","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47178/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-47178","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vmqf-grh3-9rrr","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2021-47178","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-47178"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel SCSI target","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A kernel bug in the SCSI target subsystem causes a system crash when using TCMU devices with debug preemption enabled, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-459","name":"Incomplete Cleanup"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nscsi: target: core: Avoid smp_processor_id() in preemptible code\n\nThe BUG message \"BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000]\ncode\" was observed for TCMU devices with kernel config DEBUG_PREEMPT.\n\nThe message was observed when blktests block/005 was run on TCMU devices\nwith fileio backend or user:zbc backend [1]. The commit 1130b499b4a7\n(\"scsi: target: tcm_loop: Use LIO wq cmd submission helper\") triggered the\nsymptom. The commit modified work queue to handle commands and changed\n'current-\u003enr_cpu_allowed' at smp_processor_id() call.\n\nThe message was also observed at system shutdown when TCMU devices were not\ncleaned up [2]. The function smp_processor_id() was called in SCSI host\nwork queue for abort handling, and triggered the BUG message. This symptom\nwas observed regardless of the commit 1130b499b4a7 (\"scsi: target:\ntcm_loop: Use LIO wq cmd submission helper\").\n\nTo avoid the preemptible code check at smp_processor_id(), get CPU ID with\nraw_smp_processor_id() instead. The CPU ID is used for performance\nimprovement then thread move to other CPU will not affect the code.\n\n[1]\n\n[   56.468103] run blktests block/005 at 2021-05-12 14:16:38\n[   57.369473] check_preemption_disabled: 85 callbacks suppressed\n[   57.369480] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: fio/1511\n[   57.369506] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: fio/1510\n[   57.369512] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: fio/1506\n[   57.369552] caller is __target_init_cmd+0x157/0x170 [target_core_mod]\n[   57.369606] CPU: 4 PID: 1506 Comm: fio Not tainted 5.13.0-rc1+ #34\n[   57.369613] Hardware name: System manufacturer System Product Name/PRIME Z270-A, BIOS 1302 03/15/2018\n[   57.369617] Call Trace:\n[   57.369621] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: fio/1507\n[   57.369628]  dump_stack+0x6d/0x89\n[   57.369642]  check_preemption_disabled+0xc8/0xd0\n[   57.369628] caller is __target_init_cmd+0x157/0x170 [target_core_mod]\n[   57.369655]  __target_init_cmd+0x157/0x170 [target_core_mod]\n[   57.369695]  target_init_cmd+0x76/0x90 [target_core_mod]\n[   57.369732]  tcm_loop_queuecommand+0x109/0x210 [tcm_loop]\n[   57.369744]  scsi_queue_rq+0x38e/0xc40\n[   57.369761]  __blk_mq_try_issue_directly+0x109/0x1c0\n[   57.369779]  blk_mq_try_issue_directly+0x43/0x90\n[   57.369790]  blk_mq_submit_bio+0x4e5/0x5d0\n[   57.369812]  submit_bio_noacct+0x46e/0x4e0\n[   57.369830]  __blkdev_direct_IO_simple+0x1a3/0x2d0\n[   57.369859]  ?
