CVE-2025-21786

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: workqueue: Put the pwq after detaching the rescuer from the pool The commit 68f83057b913("workqueue: Reap workers via kthread_stop() and remove detach_completion") adds code to reap the normal workers but mistakenly does not handle the rescuer and also removes the code waiting for the rescuer in put_unbound_pool(), which caused a use-after-free bug reported by Cheung Wall. To avoid the use-after-free bug, the pool’s reference must be held until the detachment is complete. Therefore, move the code that puts the pwq after detaching the rescuer from the pool.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: workqueue: colocar el pwq después de separar el rescatador del grupo el commit 68f83057b913("workqueue: Reap workers via kthread_stop() and remove detach_completion") agrega código para recolectar los trabajadores normales, pero por error no gestiona el rescatador y también elimina el código que espera al rescatador en put_unbound_pool(), lo que causó un error de use after free informado por Cheung Wall. Para evitar el error de use after free, la referencia del grupo debe mantenerse hasta que se complete la separación. Por lo tanto, mueva el código que coloca el pwq después de separar el rescatador del grupo.
