In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/futex: ensure io_futex_wait() cleans up properly on failure
The io_futex_data is allocated upfront and assigned to the io_kiocb
async_data field, but the request isn't marked with REQ_F_ASYNC_DATA
at that point. Those two should always go together, as the flag tells
io_uring whether the field is valid or not.
Additionally, on failure cleanup, the futex handler frees the data but
does not clear ->async_data. Clear the data and the flag in the error
path as well.
Thanks to Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative and particularly ReDress for
reporting this.
