CVE-2024-50184: virtio_pmem: Check device status before requesting flush

Published Nov 8, 2024
·
Updated

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

virtiopmem: Check device status before requesting flush

If a pmem device is in a bad status, the driver side could wait for host ack forever in virtiopmemflush(), causing the system to hang.

So add a status check in the beginning of virtiopmemflush() to return early if the device is not activated.
