CVE-2026-64305: crypto: qat - protect service table iterations with service_lock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qat - protect service table iterations with servicelock
The servicetable list is protected by servicelock when entries are added or removed (in adfserviceadd() and adfserviceremove()), but several functions iterate over the list without holding this lock.
A concurrent adfserviceregister() or adfserviceunregister() call could modify the list during traversal, leading to list corruption or a use-after-free.
Fix this by holding servicelock across all listforeachentry() iterations of servicetable in adfdevinit(), adfdevstart(), adfdevstop(), adfdevshutdown(), adfdevrestartingnotify(), adfdevrestartednotify(), and adferrornotifier().
The lock ordering is safe: callers of the static helpers (adfdevup() and adfdevdown()) acquire statelock before servicelock, and no eventhld callback or servicelock holder ever acquires statelock in the reverse order.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this issue exposed to remote attackers?
The CVSS vector identifies local attack access (AV:L). The provided information does not indicate a network-reachable exploitation path.
What conditions are required to trigger the flaw?
The service table must be traversed while a concurrent adf_service_register() or adf_service_unregister() operation modifies it. This race can result in list corruption or use-after-free.
What level of access is required for exploitation?
The CVSS vector indicates low privileges are required (PR:L) and no user interaction is required (UI:N). Successful exploitation is rated as having high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
