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

io_uring/sqpoll: fix sqpoll error handling races

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __lock_acquire+0x370b/0x4a10 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5089 Call Trace: ... _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x3d/0x60 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:162 class_raw_spinlock_irqsave_constructor include/linux/spinlock.h:551 [inline] try_to_wake_up+0xb5/0x23c0 kernel/sched/core.c:4205 io_sq_thread_park+0xac/0xe0 io_uring/sqpoll.c:55 io_sq_thread_finish+0x6b/0x310 io_uring/sqpoll.c:96 io_sq_offload_create+0x162/0x11d0 io_uring/sqpoll.c:497 io_uring_create io_uring/io_uring.c:3724 [inline] io_uring_setup+0x1728/0x3230 io_uring/io_uring.c:3806 ...

Kun Hu reports that the SQPOLL creating error path has UAF, which happens if io_uring_alloc_task_context() fails and then io_sq_thread() manages to run and complete before the rest of error handling code, which means io_sq_thread_finish() is looking at already killed task.

Note that this is mostly theoretical, requiring fault injection on the allocation side to trigger in practice.
