Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
irq_work: Fix use-after-free in irq_work_single() on PREEMPT_RT<br />
<br />
On PREEMPT_RT, non-HARD irq_work runs in per-CPU kthreads via<br />
run_irq_workd(), so irq_work_sync() uses rcuwait() to wait for BUSY==0.<br />
<br />
After irq_work_single() clears BUSY via atomic_cmpxchg(), it still<br />
dereferences @work for irq_work_is_hard() and rcuwait_wake_up().<br />
<br />
An irq_work_sync() caller on another CPU that enters after BUSY is cleared<br />
can observe BUSY==0 immediately, return, and free the work before those<br />
accesses complete — causing a use-after-free.<br />
<br />
Fix this by wrapping run_irq_workd() in guard(rcu)() so that the entire<br />
irq_work_single() execution is within an RCU read-side critical<br />
section. Then add synchronize_rcu() in irq_work_sync() after<br />
rcuwait_wait_event() to ensure the caller waits for the RCU grace period<br />
before returning, preventing premature frees.
