🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 RDMA/iwcm 구성 요소에서 workqueue 리스트 손상이 발생하는 취약점입니다. 특정 커밋 이후 작업 제출 로직이 변경되면서, 이미 대기 중인 작업이 중복 큐에 추가되어 메모리 내 리스트 구조를 파괴할 수 있습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
컴퓨터가 해야 할 일 목록을 관리하는 과정에서 목록이 꼬여버리는 문제입니다. 이로 인해 시스템이 갑자기 멈추거나 오류가 발생하여 컴퓨터가 꺼질 수 있습니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/iwcm: Fix workqueue list corruption by removing work_list
The commit e1168f0 ("RDMA/iwcm: Simplify cm_event_handler()")
changed the work submission logic to unconditionally call
queue_work() with the expectation that queue_work() would
have no effect if work was already pending. The problem is
that a free list of struct iwcm_work is used (for which
struct work_struct is embedded), so each call to queue_work()
is basically unique and therefore does indeed queue the work.
This causes a problem in the work handler which walks the work_list
until it's empty to process entries. This means that a single
run of the work handler could process item N+1 and release it
back to the free list while the actual workqueue entry is still
queued. It could then get reused (INIT_WORK...) and lead to
list corruption in the workqueue logic.
Fix this by just removing the work_list. The workqueue already
does this for us.
This fixes the following error that was observed when stress
testing with ucmatose on an Intel E830 in iWARP mode:
