CVE-2023-2269

First published: Tue Apr 25 2023(Updated: )

A bug in the Linux kernel version 6.2.0 by syzkaller with our own templates. The bug causes a possible recursive locking scenario, resulting in a deadlock. The key trace is as follows: down_read+0x9d/0x450 kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1509 dm_get_inactive_table+0x2b/0xc0 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:773 __dev_status+0x4fd/0x7c0 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:844 table_clear+0x197/0x280 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:1537 In table_clear, it acquires a write lock <a href="https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L1520">https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L1520</a> down_write(&amp;_hash_lock); Then before the lock is released at L1539, there is a path shown above: table_clear -&gt; __dev_status -&gt; dm_get_inactive_table -&gt; down_read <a href="https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L773">https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L773</a> down_read(&amp;_hash_lock); It tries to acquire the same read lock again, resulting in the deadlock problem
