Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) On-Chip Debug and Test Interface With Improper Access Control (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23292)

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper locking mechanism in the SCSI target subsystem when handling configuration file writes. A local user can provide a specially crafted configuration input to cause recursive semaphore locking, leading to a system crash or hang.

Exploitation requires access to the target's configuration filesystem (configfs) and the ability to write to the db_root parameter. No additional privileges beyond standard configfs access are required.
