CVE-2024-53093: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-multipath: defer partition scanning We need to suppress the partition scan from occuring within the controller's scan_work context. If a path error occurs here, the IO will wait until a path becomes available or all paths are torn down, but that action also occurs within scan_work, so it would deadlock. Defer the partion scan to a different context that does not block scan_work.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: before 6.1.118 (fixed in 6.1.118); from 6.2, before 6.6.62 (fixed in 6.6.62); from 6.7, before 6.11.9 (fixed in 6.11.9); version 6.12 only
