CVE-2024-49854 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block, bfq: fix uaf for accessing waker_bfqq after splitting
After commit 42c306ed7233 ("block, bfq: don\'t break merge chain in
bfq_split_bfqq()"), 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->waker_bfqq may trigger UAF. What\'s more, the waker_bfqq
may in the merge chain of bfqq, hence just recored waker_bfqq is still
not safe.
Fix the problem by adding a helper bfq_waker_bfqq() to check if
bfqq->waker_bfqq is in the merge chain, and current procress is the only
holder.
