CVE-2024-42135

CVE-2024-42135 concerns the Linux kernel vhost_task handling of SIGKILL. The connected sources confirm a concrete fix: when a SIGKILL is issued, the kernel now (1) marks the worker as killed to prevent new virtqueue usage and new flush operations, (2) fixes the virtqueue-to-worker mapping to stop...

kernel: md/raid5-cache: fix a deadlock in r5l_exit_log()

A deadlock vulnerability was found in the md RAID5 cache r5l subsystem in the Linux kernel. In r5lexitlog, flushwork is called while holding reconfigmutex, which waits for disablewritebackwork to complete. However, r5cdisablewritebackasync calls waitevent which requires conf-log to be NULL, but...
