Summary
CVE-2024-56588 affecting package kernel 5.15.200.1-1
Details

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

scsi: hisi_sas: Create all dump files during debugfs initialization

For the current debugfs of hisi_sas, after user triggers dump, the driver allocate memory space to save the register information and create debugfs files to display the saved information. In this process, the debugfs files created after each dump.

Therefore, when the dump is triggered while the driver is unbind, the following hang occurs:

To fix this issue, create all directories and files during debugfs initialization. In this way, the driver only needs to allocate memory space to save information each time the user triggers dumping.
