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

scsi: hisi_sas: Fix a deadlock issue related to automatic dump

If we issue a disabling PHY command, the device attached with it will go

offline, if a 2 bit ECC error occurs at the same time, a hung task may be

This is because when the device goes offline, we obtain the hisi_hba

semaphore and send the ABORT_DEV command to the device. However, the

internal abort timed out due to the 2 bit ECC error and triggers automatic

dump. In addition, since the hisi_hba semaphore has been obtained, the dump

cannot be executed and the controller cannot be reset.

Therefore, the deadlocks occur on the following circular dependencies

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity none, availability high.
