CVE-2024-50079

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel version 6.12.0-rc3-00113-g8d020023b155

Description: The issue arises when the sqpoll is exiting and cancels pending work items, potentially requiring the execution of task work. If this occurs within io uring cancel generic(), it may lead to waiting for the io uring task waitqueue, resulting in an attempt to grab the ring mutex while in a TASK INTERRUPTIBLE state. This can trigger a warning from the scheduler. The problem is resolved by ensuring the task state is set to TASK RUNNING when running task work, similar to other cases in io run task work().

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
