| Name | CVE-2026-98858 |
| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring: fix task_work add use-after-free with SQPOLL For SQPOLL, the sqpoll thread runs task_work off its own list and doesn't need to be told about it, so it can pop and complete a request as soon as mpscq_push() has published it. If that was the last request holding the ring alive, io_ring_exit_work() then frees the ctx, stops the thread, and with it the tctx, while io_req_normal_work_add() is still looking at both after the push: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in io_req_normal_work_add+0x439/0x510 Read of size 4 at addr ff11000000ca0000 by task repro/55 (...) BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in queue_work_on+0x25/0x70 Write of size 8 at addr ff11000000c3bd00 by task repro/55 Hold an RCU read lock across the add, like io_req_local_work_add() already does, and have io_ring_exit_work() wait for a grace period for SQPOLL rings as well before freeing the ctx. |
