In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irq work: Fix use-after-free in irq work single() on PREEMPT RT
On PREEMPT RT, non-HARD irq work runs in per-CPU kthreads via run irq workd(), so irq work sync() uses rcuwait() to wait for BUSY==0.
After irq work single() clears BUSY via atomic cmpxchg(), it still dereferences @work for irq work is hard() and rcuwait wake up().
An irq work sync() caller on another CPU that enters after BUSY is cleared can observe BUSY==0 immediately, return, and free the work before those accesses complete — causing a use-after-free.
Fix this by wrapping run irq workd() in guard(rcu)() so that the entire irq work single() execution is within an RCU read-side critical section. Then add synchronize rcu() in irq work sync() after rcuwait wait event() to ensure the caller waits for the RCU grace period before returning, preventing premature frees.
