CVE-2024-27079 Affecting kernel-zfcpdump-modules-internal package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-zfcpdump-modules-internal package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-modules-internal package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

iommu/vt-d: Fix NULL domain on device release

In the kdump kernel, the IOMMU operates in deferred_attach mode. In this mode, info->domain may not yet be assigned by the time the release_device function is called. It leads to the following crash in the crash kernel:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000003c
...
RIP: 0010:do_raw_spin_lock+0xa/0xa0

Use the release_domain mechanism to fix it. The scalable mode context entry which is not part of release domain should be cleared in release_device().
