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

scsi: pm8001: Use rollback index when freeing MSI-X vectors

pm8001requestmsix() unwinds previously registered handlers with freeirq() when requestirq() fails. The rollback loop uses the failing index i for every iteration instead of the already registered vector index j.

That passes the wrong IRQ/devid pair to freeirq() and leaves the earlier handlers installed. Use j for both pciirqvector() and the matching irqvector entry in the rollback loop.

Description

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Under what condition is the faulty cleanup path reached?

It is reached when pm8001_request_msix() successfully registers one or more MSI-X interrupt handlers and a later request_irq() call fails.

2

What is the effect of the failed rollback?

The driver calls free_irq() with the failing vector index rather than each previously registered vector index. As a result, the earlier interrupt handlers can remain installed because the IRQ and dev_id pair does not match the handler being freed.

3

What does the fix change?

The rollback loop uses the registered-handler index j for both pci_irq_vector() and the corresponding irq_vector entry passed to free_irq(). This frees the handlers that were successfully registered before the request_irq() failure.
