CVE-2024-39371
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: check for non-NULL file pointer in io_file_can_poll()
In earlier kernels, it was possible to trigger a NULL pointer
dereference off the forced async preparation path, if no file had
been assigned. The trace leading to that looks as follows:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000b0

because the request is marked forced ASYNC and has a bad file fd, and
hence takes the forced async prep path.
Current kernels with the request async prep cleaned up can no longer hit
this issue, but for ease of backporting, let’s add this safety check in
here too as it really doesn’t hurt. For both cases, this will inevitably
end with a CQE posted with -EBADF.
