CVE-2025-22083 — vhost-scsi: Fix handling of multiple calls to vhost_scsi_set_endpoint

Affected: Linux, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIPLUS S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP

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

vhost-scsi: Fix handling of multiple calls to vhost_scsi_set_endpoint

If vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called multiple times without a vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint between them, we can hit multiple bugs found by Haoran Zhang:

1. Use-after-free when no tpgs are found:

This fixes a use after free that occurs when vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called more than once and calls after the first call do not find any tpgs to add to the vs_tpg. When vhost_scsi_set_endpoint first finds tpgs to add to the vs_tpg array match=true, so we will do:

vhost_vq_set_backend(vq, vs_tpg); ...

kfree(vs->vs_tpg); vs->vs_tpg = vs_tpg;

If vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called again and no tpgs are found match=false so we skip the vhost_vq_set_backend call leaving the pointer to the vs_tpg we then free via:

kfree(vs->vs_tpg); vs->vs_tpg = vs_tpg;

If a scsi request is then sent we do:

vhost_scsi_handle_vq -> vhost_scsi_get_req -> vhost_vq_get_backend

which sees the vs_tpg we just did a kfree on.

2. Tpg dir removal hang:

This patch fixes an issue where we cannot remove a LIO/target layer tpg (and structs above it like the target) dir due to the refcount dropping to -1.

The problem is that if vhost_scsi_set_endpoint detects a tpg is already in the vs->vs_tpg array or if the tpg has been removed so target_depend_item fails, the undepend goto handler will do target_undepend_item on all tpgs in the vs_tpg array dropping their refcount to 0.…
