      "title": "io_uring/bpf-ops: reject re-registration of an already-bound ops",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nio_uring/bpf-ops: reject re-registration of an already-bound ops\n\nio_install_bpf() only rejects a second registration on the ctx side\n(ctx->bpf_ops) and sets the per-map back-pointer ops->priv\nunconditionally. The struct_ops link path never advances a map past\nBPF_STRUCT_OPS_STATE_READY, so the same io_uring_bpf_ops map can be\nregistered more than once, and bpf_io_reg() re-resolves the target ring\nvia fget(ops->ring_fd) on every call. A caller can therefore point the\nsame ring_fd at a different io_ring_ctx between two BPF_LINK_CREATE\ncalls.\n\nThe second registration passes the ctx->bpf_ops check (the new ctx has\nnone) and overwrites ops->priv, orphaning the first ctx. Teardown\n(io_eject_bpf()/bpf_io_unreg()) only reaches a ctx through ops->priv, so\nthe orphaned ctx is never torn down: its ctx->loop_step keeps pointing\ninto the struct_ops trampoline, which is freed once the map is gone. A\nlater io_uring_enter() on the orphaned ring then calls the dangling\nctx->loop_step from io_run_loop() -- a use-after-free of freed\nexecutable memory, reachable by a task with CAP_BPF + CAP_PERFMON.\n\nReject registration when ops->priv is already set, as hid_bpf_reg()\ndoes for its struct_ops.",
