      "title": "io-wq: check that the predecessor is hashed in io_wq_remove_pending()",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nio-wq: check that the predecessor is hashed in io_wq_remove_pending()\n\nio_wq_remove_pending() needs to fix up wq->hash_tail[] if the cancelled\nwork was the tail of its hash bucket. When doing this, it checks whether\nthe preceding entry in acct->work_list has the same hash value, but\nnever checks that the predecessor is hashed at all. io_get_work_hash()\nis simply atomic_read(&work->flags) >> IO_WQ_HASH_SHIFT, and the hash\nbits are never set for non-hashed work, so it returns 0. Thus, when a\nhashed bucket-0 work is cancelled while a non-hashed work is its list\npredecessor, the check spuriously passes and a pointer to the non-hashed\nio_kiocb is stored in wq->hash_tail[0].\n\nBecause non-hashed work is dequeued via the fast path in\nio_get_next_work(), which never touches hash_tail[], the stale pointer\nis never cleared. Therefore, after the non-hashed io_kiocb completes and\nis freed back to req_cachep, wq->hash_tail[0] is a dangling pointer. The\nio_wq is per-task (tctx->io_wq) and survives ring open/close, so the\ndangling pointer persists for the lifetime of the task; the next hashed\nbucket-0 enqueue dereferences it in io_wq_insert_work() and\nwq_list_add_after() writes through freed memory.\n\nAdd the missing io_wq_is_hashed() check so a non-hashed predecessor\nnever inherits a hash_tail[] slot.",
