"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nvhost-scsi: reject feature changes after endpoint\n\nvhost_scsi_setup_vq_cmds() runs from VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT and allocates\neach command's protection scatterlist array (prot_sgl) according to the\nacknowledged VIRTIO_SCSI_F_T10_PI bit. The command pools are not rebuilt\nwhen VHOST_SET_FEATURES changes that bit later.\n\nAlthough virtio feature bits must not change after feature negotiation,\nvhost_scsi_set_features() currently accepts such a request after the\nendpoint is active and updates acked_features. Enabling T10-PI after\nendpoint setup therefore leaves prot_sgl NULL while the I/O path follows\nthe new feature bit.\n\nFor a 129-page protection payload, vhost_scsi_mapal() passes the missing\nfirst chunk to sg_alloc_table_chained():\n\n sg_alloc_table_chained(table, 129, first_chunk=NULL,\n nents_first_chunk=inline_sg_cnt)\n\nsg_pool_index() then hits:\n\n BUG_ON(nents > SG_CHUNK_SIZE); /* 129 > 128 */\n\nThe kernel reported the following call trace and register state:\n\n Call Trace:\n <TASK>\n ? __sg_alloc_table+0x1d8/0x250\n ? __pfx_vhost_run_work_list+0x10/0x10 [vhost]\n sg_alloc_table_chained+0x59/0xf0\n ? __pfx_sg_pool_alloc+0x10/0x10\n ? vhost_scsi_calc_sgls.constprop.0+0x43/0x60 [vhost_scsi]\n vhost_scsi_handle_vq+0xf02/0x1700 [vhost_scsi]\n ? __pfx_vhost_scsi_handle_vq+0x10/0x10 [vhost_scsi]\n vhost_scsi_handle_kick+0x37/0x50 [vhost_scsi]\n vhost_run_work_list+0x8e/0xd0 [vhost]\n vhost_task_fn+0xe1/0x210\n ret_from_fork+0x348/0x540\n </TASK>\n\n RIP: 0010:0x4\n CR2 = 0x4\n RSP: 0018:ffffc90000dbf940 EFLAGS: 00010202\n RAX: ffffffff82396810 RBX: ffff88811dc28b80 RCX: 0000000000000000\n RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000820 RDI: 0000000000000081\n\nVHOST_F_LOG_ALL is a vhost-specific runtime feature and remains the only\nexception.\n\nReject changes to any feature other than VHOST_F_LOG_ALL while the\nendpoint is active. This preserves the existing runtime log toggle while\npreventing feature-dependent command resources and data-path state from\nbecoming inconsistent. Userspace must clear the endpoint before changing\nany other negotiated feature and set the endpoint up again afterward."
