In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/timeout: don't 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 ->timeout_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't set
io_async_cancel_one()
sets IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL
= -EALREADY
io_timeout_cancel() = -ENOENT
io_timeout()
adds the request to ->timeout_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 ->timeout_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.
