      <title>CVE-2024-49854 — block, bfq: fix uaf for accessing waker_bfqq after splitting</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-49854</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;block, bfq: fix uaf for accessing waker_bfqq after splitting&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After commit 42c306ed7233 (&amp;#34;block, bfq: don&amp;#39;t break merge chain in
bfq_split_bfqq()&amp;#34;), if the current procress is the last holder of bfqq,
the bfqq can be freed after bfq_split_bfqq(). Hence recored the bfqq and
then access bfqq-&amp;gt;waker_bfqq may trigger UAF. What&amp;#39;s more, the waker_bfqq
may in the merge chain of bfqq, hence just recored waker_bfqq is still
not safe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix the problem by adding a helper bfq_waker_bfqq() to check if
bfqq-&amp;gt;waker_bfqq is in the merge chain, and current procress is the only
holder.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
