"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nDrivers: hv: util: Avoid accessing a ringbuffer not initialized yet\n\nIf the KVP (or VSS) daemon starts before the VMBus channel's ringbuffer is\nfully initialized, we can hit the panic below:\n\nhv_utils: Registering HyperV Utility Driver\nhv_vmbus: registering driver hv_utils\n...\nBUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000\nCPU: 44 UID: 0 PID: 2552 Comm: hv_kvp_daemon Tainted: G E 6.11.0-rc3+ #1\nRIP: 0010:hv_pkt_iter_first+0x12/0xd0\nCall Trace:\n...\n vmbus_recvpacket\n hv_kvp_onchannelcallback\n vmbus_on_event\n tasklet_action_common\n tasklet_action\n handle_softirqs\n irq_exit_rcu\n sysvec_hyperv_stimer0\n </IRQ>\n <TASK>\n asm_sysvec_hyperv_stimer0\n...\n kvp_register_done\n hvt_op_read\n vfs_read\n ksys_read\n __x64_sys_read\n\nThis can happen because the KVP/VSS channel callback can be invoked\neven before the channel is fully opened:\n1) as soon as hv_kvp_init() -> hvutil_transport_init() creates\n/dev/vmbus/hv_kvp, the kvp daemon can open the device file immediately and\nregister itself to the driver by writing a message KVP_OP_REGISTER1 to the\nfile (which is handled by kvp_on_msg() ->kvp_handle_handshake()) and\nreading the file for the driver's response, which is handled by\nhvt_op_read(), which calls hvt->on_read(), i.e. kvp_register_done().\n\n2) the problem with kvp_register_done() is that it can cause the\nchannel callback to be called even before the channel is fully opened,\nand when the channel callback is starting to run, util_probe()->\nvmbus_open() may have not initialized the ringbuffer yet, so the\ncallback can hit the panic of NULL pointer dereference.\n\nTo reproduce the panic consistently, we can add a \"ssleep(10)\" for KVP in\n__vmbus_open(), just before the first hv_ringbuffer_init(), and then we\nunload and reload the driver hv_utils, and run the daemon manually within\nthe 10 seconds.\n\nFix the panic by reordering the steps in util_probe() so the char dev\nentry used by the KVP or VSS daemon is not created until after\nvmbus_open() has completed. This reordering prevents the race condition\nfrom happening."
