AI-suggested

A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions to resolve this issue. The vendor advisory confirms that this vulnerability has been fixed. Users should update to the fixed kernel versions as provided by their Linux distribution.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's SCSI core subsystem could cause device removal processes to hang due to requests stuck in requeue lists. This occurs because the function scsi_run_host_queues() does not process devices in certain intermediate states, leaving requeued commands unprocessed. The issue has been resolved by adjusting the device state checks to include more devices when running queues. The vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions and has a CVSS score of 7.5 with a medium severity rating. A patch is available to address this issue.
