It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.", "title": "block: reject polled dio with user integrity metadata", "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: reject polled dio with user integrity metadata IOCB_HAS_METADATA leaves iocb-\u003Eprivate as a uio_meta, while iocb_bio_iopoll() expects a bio. Since 2729a60bbfb9, metadata I/O always uses __blkdev_direct_IO(), which never publishes the bio for polling, so IOPOLL calls bio_poll() on the uio_meta. Reproducer: io_uring IOPOLL plus a PI attribute on an integrity device (scsi_debug dif=1 dix=1). KASAN reports: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000004 KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000020-0x0000000000000027] RIP:
