Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-auth: Synchronize timeout work during SQ teardown
nvmet_auth_sq_free() cancels auth_expired_work with
cancel_delayed_work(). If the work has already started, cancellation does
not wait for the callback. Transport teardown can consequently free or
reuse the queue containing struct nvmet_sq while
nvmet_auth_expired_work() still accesses that SQ.
Add a teardown-specific helper that synchronously drains the delayed work
before freeing authentication state, and use it from nvmet_sq_destroy().
Keep the non-synchronous helper for in-band authentication state cleanup,
where the SQ owner remains alive.
