CVE-2026-64003
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) core. During a SCSI host recovery, the scsi_run_host_queues() function may incorrectly ignore devices that are in a partially removed state. This oversight can cause pending requests for these devices to become stuck, leading to a hang in the device removal process. The primary consequence is a Denial of Service (DoS), as affected devices cannot be properly removed from the system.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Resource Consumption (Other); DoS: Resource Consumption (Memory); DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU)
An attacker that can influence the allocation of resources that are not properly released could deplete the available resource pool and prevent all other processes from accessing the same type of resource. Frequently-affected resources include memory, CPU, disk space, power or battery, etc.
