CVE-2026-74702

Estado: RecibidaAlta (8.8)—

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

vhost-scsi: reject feature changes after endpoint

vhost_scsi_setup_vq_cmds() runs from VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT and allocates each command's protection scatterlist array (prot_sgl) according to the acknowledged VIRTIO_SCSI_F_T10_PI bit. The command pools are not rebuilt when VHOST_SET_FEATURES changes that bit later.

Although virtio feature bits must not change after feature negotiation, vhost_scsi_set_features() currently accepts such a request after the endpoint is active and updates acked_features. Enabling T10-PI after endpoint setup therefore leaves prot_sgl NULL while the I/O path follows the new feature bit.

For a 129-page protection payload, vhost_scsi_mapal() passes the missing first chunk to sg_alloc_table_chained():

sg_pool_index() then hits:

The kernel reported the following call trace and register state:

VHOST_F_LOG_ALL is a vhost-specific runtime feature and remains the only exception.

Reject changes to any feature other than VHOST_F_LOG_ALL while the endpoint is active. This preserves the existing runtime log toggle while preventing feature-dependent command resources and data-path state from becoming inconsistent. Userspace must clear the endpoint before changing any other negotiated feature and set the endpoint up again afterward.
