Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
block, bfq: fix bfqq uaf in bfq_limit_depth()<br />
<br />
Set new allocated bfqq to bic or remove freed bfqq from bic are both<br />
protected by bfqd->lock, however bfq_limit_depth() is deferencing bfqq<br />
from bic without the lock, this can lead to UAF if the io_context is<br />
shared by multiple tasks.<br />
<br />
For example, test bfq with io_uring can trigger following UAF in v6.6:<br />
