CVE-2025-37747
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: Fix hang while freeing sigtrap event
Perf can hang while freeing a sigtrap event if a related deferred signal hadn't managed to be sent before the file got closed:
Once task_work_run() is running, the list of pending callbacks is removed from the task_struct and from this point on task_work_cancel() can't remove any pending and not yet started work items, hence the task_work_cancel() failure and the hang on rcuwait_wait_event().
Task work could be changed to remove one work at a time, so a work running on the current task can always cancel a pending one, however the wait / wake design is still subject to inverted dependencies when remote targets are involved, as pictured by Oleg:

Therefore the only option left is to acquire the event reference count upon queueing the perf task work and release it from the task work, just like it was done before 3a5465418f5f ("perf: Fix event leak upon exec and file release") but without the leaks it fixed.
Some adjustments are necessary to make it work:

* A child event might dereference its parent upon freeing. Care must be
taken to release the parent last.
* Some places assuming the event doesn't have any reference held and
therefore can be freed right away must instead put the reference and
let the reference counting to its job.CVSS

El trabajo de la tarea se puede cambiar para eliminar un trabajo a la vez, de modo que un trabajo que se ejecuta en la tarea actual siempre puede cancelar uno pendiente, sin embargo, el diseño de espera/activación aún está sujeto a dependencias invertidas cuando se involucran objetivos remotos, como lo ilustra Oleg: T1 T2 fd = perf_event_open(pid => T2->pid); fd = perf_event_open(pid => T1->pid); close(fd) close(fd) perf_event_overflow() perf_event_overflow() task_work_add(perf_pending_task) task_work_add(perf_pending_task) fput() fput() task_work_add(____fput()) task_work_add(____fput()) task_work_run() task_work_run() ____fput() ____fput() perf_release() perf_release() perf_event_release_kernel() perf_event_release_kernel() _free_event() _free_event() perf_pending_task_sync() perf_pending_task_sync() rcuwait_wait_event() rcuwait_wait_event() Por lo tanto, la única opción que queda es adquirir el recuento de referencias de evento al poner en cola el trabajo de la tarea de rendimiento y liberarlo del trabajo de la tarea. Tal como se hizo antes de 3a5465418f5f (\"perf: Corregir fuga de eventos al ejecutar y liberar archivos\"), pero sin las fugas corregidas. Se requieren algunos ajustes para que funcione: * Un evento secundario podría desreferenciar a su padre al liberarse. Se debe tener cuidado de liberar al padre al final. * Algunos sitios, al asumir que el evento no tiene ninguna referencia retenida y, por lo tanto, puede liberarse de inmediato, deben colocar la referencia y dejar que el recuento de referencias continúe."
