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

block: fix deadlock between sd_remove & sd_release

Our test report the following hung task:

T1: T2:
sd_remove
del_gendisk
__blk_mark_disk_dead
blk_freeze_queue_start
++q->mq_freeze_depth
bdev_release
mutex_lock(&disk->open_mutex)
sd_release
scsi_execute_cmd
blk_queue_enter
wait_event(!q->mq_freeze_depth)
mutex_lock(&disk->open_mutex)

SCSI does not set GD_OWNS_QUEUE, so QUEUE_FLAG_DYING is not set in
this scenario. This is a classic ABBA deadlock. To fix the deadlock,
make sure we don't try to acquire disk->open_mutex after freezing
the queue.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
