Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/tctx: work around xa_store() allocation error issue
syzbot triggered the following WARN_ON:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 16 at io_uring/tctx.c:51 __io_uring_free+0xfa/0x140 io_uring/tctx.c:51
which is the
WARN_ON_ONCE(!xa_empty(&tctx->xa));
sanity check in __io_uring_free() when a io_uring_task is going through
its final put. The syzbot test case includes injecting memory allocation
failures, and it very much looks like xa_store() can fail one of its
memory allocations and end up with ->head being non-NULL even though no
entries exist in the xarray.
Until this issue gets sorted out, work around it by attempting to
iterate entries in our xarray, and WARN_ON_ONCE() if one is found.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.1 < 6.1.120)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.66)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.5)
