  "title": "io_uring/timeout: don\u0027t lose a cancel as io-wq arms a timeout",
  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  io_uring/timeout: don\u0027t lose a cancel as io-wq arms a timeout  An IORING_OP_TIMEOUT run by io-wq, because of IOSQE_ASYNC, has the same problem as poll, futex and waitid. io_wq_submit_work() looks at IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL once, before it issues the request. A cancel in between flags the work, gets -EALREADY, and searches -\u003Etimeout_list in vain, while the worker then adds the request and starts the timer:    io-wq worker                          io_try_cancel()   io_wq_submit_work()     IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL isn\u0027t set                                         io_async_cancel_one()                                           sets IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL                                           = -EALREADY                                         io_timeout_cancel() = -ENOENT     io_timeout()       adds the request to -\u003Etimeout_list       hrtimer_start()     = IOU_ISSUE_SKIP_COMPLETE  Nobody looks at the flag again, and the timeout runs its course. At ring exit, io_uring_try_cancel_requests() cancels io-wq work and then kills the timeouts the same way, so an exiting task can get stuck for the full duration of such a timeout.  Look at the flag under -\u003Etimeout_lock, which the search takes as well, and fail the request if it is set. If the search came first, the flag is visible. If it comes later, it finds the request on the list.",
