In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: comedi: multiq3: sanitize config options in multiq3_attach() Syzbot identified an issue [1] in multiq3_attach() that induces a task timeout due to open() or COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl operations, specifically, in the case of multiq3 driver. This problem arose when syzkaller managed to craft weird configuration options used to specify the number of channels in encoder subdevice. If a particularly great number is passed to s->n_chan in multiq3_attach() via it->options[2], then multiple calls to multiq3_encoder_reset() at the end of driver-specific attach() method will be running for minutes, thus blocking tasks and affected devices as well. While this issue is most likely not too dangerous for real-life devices, it still makes sense to sanitize configuration inputs. Enable a sensible limit on the number of encoder chips (4 chips max, each with 2 channels) to stop this behaviour from manifesting. [1] Syzbot crash: INFO: task syz.2.19:6067 blocked for more than 143 seconds. ...

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An update of the linux package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - comedi: multiq3: sanitize config options in multiq3_attach() Syzbot identified an issue [1] in     multiq3_attach() that induces a task timeout due to open() or COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl operations,     specifically, in the case of multiq3 driver. This problem arose when syzkaller managed to craft weird     configuration options used to specify the number of channels in encoder subdevice. If a particularly great     number is passed to s->n_chan in multiq3_attach() via it->options[2], then multiple calls to     multiq3_encoder_reset() at the end of driver-specific attach() method will be running for minutes, thus     blocking tasks and affected devices as well. While this issue is most likely not too dangerous for real-     life devices, it still makes sense to sanitize configuration inputs. Enable a sensible limit on the number     of encoder chips (4 chips max, each with 2 channels) to stop this behaviour from manifesting.
