Subject: [PATCH] ublk: fix use-after-free in ublk_cancel_cmd()
Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 20:37:46 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508123746.242018-1-tom.leiming@gmail.com> (raw)
When ublk_reset_ch_dev() clears io->cmd via ublk_queue_reinit()
concurrently with ublk_cancel_cmd(), ublk_cancel_cmd() can read a
stale pointer and pass it to io_uring_cmd_done(), causing a
use-after-free.
Fix by synchronizing the two paths with ubq->cancel_lock:
- ublk_cancel_cmd(): read and clear io->cmd under cancel_lock,
then call io_uring_cmd_done() on the saved local copy outside
the lock.
- ublk_reset_ch_dev(): hold cancel_lock across ublk_queue_reinit()
so that io->cmd and io->flags are cleared atomically with respect
to ublk_cancel_cmd().
Fixes: 216c8f5ef0f2 ("ublk: replace monitor with cancelable uring_cmd")
