io_uring/rw: defer fsnotify calls to task context

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 0/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.19% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 2a853c206e553dd9c0a55c22858fd6a446d93e15, 5.15.90, 5.17.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 2a853c206e553dd9c0a55c22858fd6a446d93e15, 5.15.90, 5.17 or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring/rw: defer fsnotify calls to task context We can't call these off the kiocb completion as that might be off soft/hard irq context. Defer the calls to when we process the task_work for this request. That avoids valid complaints like: stack backtrace: CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 6.0.0-rc6-syzkaller-00321-g105a36f3694e #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 08/26/2022 Call Trace: <IRQ> __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:88 [inline] dump_stack_lvl+0xcd/0x134 lib/dump_stack.c:106 print_usage_bug kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3961 [inline] valid_state kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3973 [inline] mark_lock_irq kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4176 [inline] mark_lock.part.0.cold+0x18/0xd8 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4632 mark_lock kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4596 [inline] mark_usage kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4527 [inline] __lock_acquire+0x11d9/0x56d0 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5007 lock_acquire kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5666 [inline] lock_acquire+0x1ab/0x570 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5631 __fs_reclaim_acquire mm/page_alloc.c:4674 [inline] fs_reclaim_acquire+0x115/0x160 mm/page_alloc.c:4688 might_alloc include/linux/sched/mm.h:271 [inline] slab_pre_alloc_hook mm/slab.h:700 [inline] slab_alloc mm/slab.c:3278 [inline] __kmem_cache_alloc_lru mm/slab.c:3471 [inline] kmem_cache_alloc+0x39/0x520 mm/slab.c:3491 fanotify_alloc_fid_event fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify.c:580 [inline] fanotify_alloc_event fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify.c:813 [inline] fanotify_handle_event+0x1130/0x3f40 fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify.c:948 send_to_group fs/notify/fsnotify.c:360 [inline] fsnotify+0xafb/0x1680 fs/notify/fsnotify.c:570 __fsnotify_parent+0x62f/0xa60 fs/notify/fsnotify.c:230 fsnotify_parent include/linux/fsnotify.h:77 [inline] fsnotify_file include/linux/fsnotify.h:99 [inline] fsnotify_access include/linux/fsnotify.h:309 [inline] __io_complete_rw_common+0x485/0x720 io_uring/rw.c:195 io_complete_rw+0x1a/0x1f0 io_uring/rw.c:228 iomap_dio_complete_work fs/iomap/direct-io.c:144 [inline] iomap_dio_bio_end_io+0x438/0x5e0 fs/iomap/direct-io.c:178 bio_endio+0x5f9/0x780 block/bio.c:1564 req_bio_endio block/blk-mq.c:695 [inline] blk_update_request+0x3fc/0x1300 block/blk-mq.c:825 scsi_end_request+0x7a/0x9a0 drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c:541 scsi_io_completion+0x173/0x1f70 drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c:971 scsi_complete+0x122/0x3b0 drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c:1438 blk_complete_reqs+0xad/0xe0 block/blk-mq.c:1022 __do_softirq+0x1d3/0x9c6 kernel/softirq.c:571 invoke_softirq kernel/softirq.c:445 [inline] __irq_exit_rcu+0x123/0x180 kernel/softirq.c:650 irq_exit_rcu+0x5/0x20 kernel/softirq.c:662 common_interrupt+0xa9/0xc0 arch/x86/kernel/irq.c:240

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

EPSS, last 120 days

FIRST EPSS daily score; only changes of 0.01 or more are recorded (step chart).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Credits

All researchers

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.

Bug bounty scope

No known public program.

Source: bounty-targets-data (public HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, YesWeHack listings).

Technical details

No CVSS vector for this record, so attack conditions can't be derived.

Weakness class (CWE)

Attack context

MITRE CAPEC attack patterns and ATT&CK techniques for this weakness class (CWE). A starting point for detection rules and threat hunting.

MITRE has no CAPEC/ATT&CK mapping for this CWE.
