CVE-2026-90325CVE-2026-90325
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-cgroup: skip dying blkg in blkcg_activate_policy()
When switching IO schedulers on a block device, blkcg_activate_policy()
can race with concurrent blkcg deletion, leading to a use-after-free in
rcu_accelerate_cbs.
T1: T2:
blkg_destroy
kill(&blkg->refcnt) // blkg->refcnt=1->0
blkg_release // call_rcu(__blkg_release)
...
blkg_free_workfn
->pd_free_fn(pd)
elv_iosched_store
elevator_switch
...
iterate blkg list
blkg_get(blkg) // blkg->refcnt=0->1
list_del_init(&blkg->q_node)
blkg_put(pinned_blkg) // blkg->refcnt=1->0
blkg_release // call_rcu again
rcu_accelerate_cbs // uaf
Fix this by checking hlist_unhashed(&blkg->blkcg_node) before getting
a referen
