CVE-2026-74754 — scsi: core: pair EH runtime PM get and put

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: core: pair EH runtime PM get and put shost->eh_noresume is currently consulted twice in one error handling iteration: once before scsi_autopm_get_host() and once again before scsi_autopm_put_host(). That is racy when a PM-triggered error path flips shost->eh_noresume while the SCSI EH thread is still running. The problem flow looks like this: PM path ufshcd_set_dev_pwr_mode() shost->eh_noresume = 1 ufshcd_execute_start_stop <-- trigger EH ... shost->eh_noresume = 0 EH path scsi_error_handler() if (!shost->eh_noresume) scsi_autopm_get_host() <-- skipped ... if (!shost->eh_noresume) scsi_autopm_put_host() <-- executed later In that case one EH iteration can skip autoresume on entry and still drop a runtime PM reference on exit. That leaves an unmatched runtime PM put and can trigger a runtime PM usage count underflow. Fix this by making eh_noresume a regular bool so it can be accessed with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(). Snapshot it once per EH iteration and use that snapshot for both runtime PM get and put decisions.

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

No scoring signals.

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.

EPSS FIRST

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.
