Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nbd: fix io hung while disconnecting device In our tests, "qemu-nbd" triggers a io hung: INFO: task qemu-nbd:11445 blocked for more than 368 seconds. Not tainted 5.18.0-rc3-next-20220422-00003-g2176915513ca #884 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. task:qemu-nbd state:D stack: 0 pid:11445 ppid: 1 flags:0x00000000 Call Trace: <TASK> __schedule+0x480/0x1050 ? _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x3e/0xb0 schedule+0x9c/0x1b0 blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait+0x9d/0xf0 ? ipi_rseq+0x70/0x70 blk_mq_freeze_queue+0x2b/0x40 nbd_add_socket+0x6b/0x270 [nbd] nbd_ioctl+0x383/0x510 [nbd] blkdev_ioctl+0x18e/0x3e0 __x64_sys_ioctl+0xac/0x120 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae RIP: 0033:0x7fd8ff706577 RSP: 002b:00007fd8fcdfebf8 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000010 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000040000000 RCX: 00007fd8ff706577 RDX: 000000000000000d RSI: 000000000000ab00 RDI: 000000000000000f RBP: 000000000000000f R08: 000000000000fbe8 R09: 000055fe497c62b0 R10: 00000002aff20000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 000000000000006d R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 00007ffe82dc5e70 R15: 00007fd8fcdff9c0 "qemu-ndb -d" will call ioctl 'NBD_DISCONNECT' first, however, following message was found: block nbd0: Send disconnect failed -32 Which indicate that something is wrong with the server. Then, "qemu-nbd -d" will call ioctl 'NBD_CLEAR_SOCK', however ioctl can't clear requests after commit 2516ab1543fd("nbd: only clear the queue on device teardown"). And in the meantime, request can't complete through timeout because nbd_xmit_timeout() will always return 'BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER', which means such request will never be completed in this situation. Now that the flag 'NBD_CMD_INFLIGHT' can make sure requests won't complete multiple times, switch back to call nbd_clear_sock() in nbd_clear_sock_ioctl(), so that inflight requests can be cleared.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 4.14.283 / 4.19.247 / 5.4.198 or later
Fixed in 4.14.2834.19.2475.4.198
Vendor patch git.kernel.org →
Recommended fix High confidence

Kernel version >= 5.10.122 (or 4.14.283/4.19.247/5.4.198 depending on branch)

  1. Identify the currently running Linux kernel version using 'uname -r'
  2. Determine which version branch your kernel belongs to (e.g., 4.14.x, 4.19.x, 5.4.x, 5.10.x, 5.15.x, etc.)
  3. Upgrade the Linux kernel to a version that includes the fix: for 4.14.x branch upgrade to >= 4.14.283; for 4.19.x branch upgrade to >= 4.19.247; for 5.4.x branch upgrade to >= 5.4.198; for 5.5+ branches upgrade to >= 5.10.122
  4. After kernel upgrade, reboot the system to load the fixed kernel
  5. Verify the fix is applied by checking the kernel version matches a fixed release
Caveat Kernel upgrade may require matching kernel modules and could require system reboot; ensure compatibility with system hardware and other software dependencies
