CVE-2025-37828 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: ufs: mcq: Add NULL check in ufshcd_mcq_abort()

A race can occur between the MCQ completion path and the abort handler: once a request completes __blk_mq_free_request() sets rq->mq_hctx to NULL meaning the subsequent ufshcd_mcq_req_to_hwq() call in ufshcd_mcq_abort() can return a NULL pointer. If this NULL pointer is dereferenced the kernel will crash.

Add a NULL check for the returned hwq pointer. If hwq is NULL log an error and return FAILED preventing a potential NULL-pointer dereference. As suggested by Bart the ufshcd_cmd_inflight() check is removed.

This is similar to the fix in commit 74736103fb41 (\scsi: ufs: core: Fix ufshcd_abort_one racing issue).

This is found by our static analysis tool KNighter.
