CVE-2026-23110 — scsi: core: Wake up the error handler when final completions race against each other

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:

scsi: core: Wake up the error handler when final completions race against each other

The fragile ordering between marking commands completed or failed so that the error handler only wakes when the last running command completes or times out has race conditions. These race conditions can cause the SCSI layer to fail to wake the error handler, leaving I/O through the SCSI host stuck as the error state cannot advance.

First, there is an memory ordering issue within scsi_dec_host_busy(). The write which clears SCMD_STATE_INFLIGHT may be reordered with reads counting in scsi_host_busy(). While the local CPU will see its own write, reordering can allow other CPUs in scsi_dec_host_busy() or scsi_eh_inc_host_failed() to see a raised busy count, causing no CPU to see a host busy equal to the host_failed count.

This race condition can be prevented with a memory barrier on the error path to force the write to be visible before counting host busy commands.

Second, there is a general ordering issue with scsi_eh_inc_host_failed(). By counting busy commands before incrementing host_failed, it can race with a final command in scsi_dec_host_busy(), such that scsi_dec_host_busy() does not see host_failed incremented but scsi_eh_inc_host_failed() counts busy commands before SCMD_STATE_INFLIGHT is cleared by scsi_dec_host_busy(), resulting in neither waking the error handler task.

This needs the call to scsi_host_busy() t…

It was discovered that the Linux kernel algif_aead module did not properly handle in-place cryptographic operations. This flaw is known as Copy Fail. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-31431)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Cryptographic API; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - Drivers core; - Null block device driver; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Counter interface drivers; - DMA engine subsystem; - DPLL subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Intel Trace Hub HW tracing drivers; - IIO ADC drivers; - IIO subsystem; - On-Chip Interconnect management framework; - IRQ chip drivers; - Modular ISDN driver; - LED subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - UACCE accelerator framework; - MMC subsystem; - Ethernet bonding driver; - Network drivers; - Mellanox network drivers; - NVME drivers; - PHY drivers; - x86 platform drivers; - i.MX PM domains; - SCSI subsystem; - SLIMbus drivers; - SPI subsystem; - TCM subsystem; - W1 Dallas's 1-wire bus driver; - Xen hypervisor drivers; - BTRFS file system; - EFI Variable file system; - exFAT file system; - Ext4 file system; - HFS+ file system; - Network file system (NFS) client; - N…
