Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring/rw: end write accounting from ->ki_complete Commit b000145e9907 moved both the fsnotify calls and the write accounting out of the kiocb completion handler and into the io_req_rw_complete() task_work. However, only the fsnotify part actually needed to move as it may sleep. Ending the write accounting is just a percpu_up_read() on the superblock writers sem. Deferring it is a problem, because it makes dropping SB_FREEZE_WRITE protection depend on the ring owner getting to running task_work. But the task may be blocked in freeze_super(), causing it to never get to that: task io-wq worker -------------------------------------------------------------- io_write() io_kiocb_start_write() (takes sb_writers, hidden from lockdep by __sb_writers_release) write_iter() -> -EIOCBQUEUED ioctl(FS_IOC_SHUTDOWN) bdev_freeze() freeze_super() percpu_down_write() <- waits for the reader above io_write() kiocb_start_write() percpu_down_read() <- queued behind the writer <bio completes> io_complete_rw() queues io_req_rw_complete() <- never runs, task is in D state End the write from io_complete_rw() instead, and leave only the fsnotify calls in task_work.

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
