Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to a null pointer dereference in the aio complete() function. Specifically, list del init careful() needs to be the last access to the wait queue entry, as it effectively unlocks access. Previously, finish wait() would see the empty list head and skip taking the lock, and then return, but the completion path would still attempt to do the wakeup after the task struct pointer had been overwritten.

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