Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: idxd: Fix possible Use-After-Free in irq_process_work_list Use list_for_each_entry_safe() to allow iterating through the list and deleting the entry in the iteration process. The descriptor is freed via idxd_desc_complete() and there's a slight chance may cause issue for the list iterator when the descriptor is reused by another thread without it being deleted from the list.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.162) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.96) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.36) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.9.7) • linux linux kernel 6.10
