Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

io-wq: check for wq exit after adding new worker task_work

We check IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT before attempting to create a new worker, and
wq exit cancels pending work if we have any. But it's possible to have
a race between the two, where creation checks exit finding it not set,
but we're in the process of exiting. The exit side will cancel pending
creation task_work, but there's a gap where we add task_work after we've
canceled existing creations at exit time.

Fix this by checking the EXIT bit post adding the creation task_work.
If it's set, run the same cancelation that exit does.

En el kernel de Linux se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: io-wq: comprueba la salida de wq después de agregar un nuevo trabajador task_work Comprobamos IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT antes de intentar crear un nuevo trabajador, y wq exit cancela el trabajo pendiente si tenemos alguno. Pero es posible tener una carrera entre los dos, donde las comprobaciones de creación salen y descubren que no está configurado, pero estamos en el proceso de salir. El lado de salida cancelará la creación pendiente task_work, pero hay un espacio en el que agregamos task_work después de haber cancelado las creaciones existentes en el momento de la salida. Solucione este problema marcando la publicación del bit EXIT agregando la tarea de creación_trabajo. Si está configurado, ejecute la misma cancelación que realiza la salida.
