AI-suggested

Red Hat has released security updates addressing this vulnerability for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Users should apply these updates promptly. If patching is not immediately possible, mitigations include removing or commenting out the REMOVE_CMD rule from the 50-udev-default.rules file to prevent command execution on device removal, or disabling the udev rule that invokes sg_inq --export if automatic SCSI device identification is not required. These mitigations reduce the risk of exploitation until patches can be applied.

Description

A flaw was found in sg3_utils. The sg_inq command, when invoked with the --export option, outputs device identification data without sanitizing control characters in SCSI name string fields. A newline character embedded in a device-supplied name string can inject arbitrary properties into the udev device database. This could allow an attacker who can present a crafted SCSI device to execute arbitrary commands as root when the device is disconnected.
