CVE-2026-74702 Detail

Description

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