Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) target's nvmet and nvmet_rdma modules. A local attacker could potentially trigger a recursive locking condition in the nvmet-wq workqueue during asynchronous event processing. This issue arises when nvmet_ctrl_free() attempts to flush an asynchronous event work while already executing on the same workqueue, leading to a deadlock. The most important consequence is a Denial of Service (DoS), causing system instability or unresponsiveness.
