What is CVE-2024-50098?

CVE-2024-50098 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 5 Nov 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

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

scsi: ufs: core: Set SDEV_OFFLINE when UFS is shut down

There is a history of deadlock if reboot is performed at the beginning of booting. SDEV_QUIESCE was set for all LU's scsi_devices by UFS shutdown, and at that time the audio driver was waiting on blk_mq_submit_bio() holding a mutex_lock while reading the fw binary. After that, a deadlock issue occurred while audio driver shutdown was waiting for mutex_unlock of blk_mq_submit_bio(). To solve this, set SDEV_OFFLINE for all LUs except WLUN, so that any I/O that comes down after a UFS shutdown will return an error.
