Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vhost-scsi: flush backend after device ioctls

vhost-scsi translates guest response descriptors into userspace iovecs
when commands are submitted. Target-core completes those commands
asynchronously, so VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE can replace the memory table while
an in-flight command still retains response iovecs translated through the
old table.

If the old mapping is reused after VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE returns, command
completion can write the response to an unrelated userspace object.

Flush the vhost-scsi backend after vhost_dev_ioctl() handles a device
ioctl. This waits for in-flight commands that can still use the old
response iovecs before the ioctl returns.
