In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/sqpoll: work around a potential audit memory leak
kmemleak complains that there’s a memory leak related to connect
handling:
unreferenced object 0xffff0001093bdf00 (size 128):
comm “iou-sqp-455”, pid 457, jiffies 4294894164
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
02 00 fa ea 7f 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 …
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 …
backtrace (crc 2e481b1a):
[<00000000c0a26af4>] kmemleak_alloc+0x30/0x38
[<000000009c30bb45>] kmalloc_trace+0x228/0x358
[<000000009da9d39f>] __audit_sockaddr+0xd0/0x138
[<0000000089a93e34>] move_addr_to_kernel+0x1a0/0x1f8

[<00000000d999b491>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20
which can can happen if:

  1. The command type does something on the prep side that triggers an
    audit call.
  2. The thread hasn’t done any operations before this that triggered
    an audit call inside ->issue(), where we have audit_uring_entry()
    and audit_uring_exit().
    Work around this by issuing a blanket NOP operation before the SQPOLL
    does anything.
