En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad:

check_flush_dependency() utiliza current_wq_worker() para determinar si el llamante es un worker de workqueue y, a continuación, desreferencia worker->current_pwq para comprobar si la workqueue actual es WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.

current_wq_worker() solo indica que %current tiene PF_WQ_WORKER activado. Un kworker puede llegar a check_flush_dependency() sin estar ejecutando un elemento de trabajo.

Leer descripción completaMostrar menos

Una de estas rutas es worker_thread() actuando como gestor del pool, donde create_worker() realiza una asignación GFP_KERNEL y la ruta de asignación invoca el notificador de OOM. En ese estado, worker->current_pwq es NULL, porque current_pwq solo lo establece process_one_work() y lo vuelve a limpiar después de que la función de trabajo retorne.

Se protege la advertencia de worker de WQ_MEM_RECLAIM con una comprobación de worker->current_pwq. Si el kworker no está ejecutando actualmente un elemento de trabajo, no hay una workqueue actual que diagnosticar con esa advertencia. La advertencia de PF_MEMALLOC no se modifica, de modo que un vaciado explícito en contexto de recuperación de memoria sobre un destino !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM se sigue notificando.
