In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost-vdpa: protect config_ctx from being freed under the config callback
vhost_vdpa_config_cb() loads v->config_ctx and signals it without taking a reference and without holding any lock:
VHOST_VDPA_SET_CONFIG_CALL replaces that field and drops what is normally the last reference to the old context:
eventfd_ctx_put() drops the last kref and frees the context immediately, with no RCU grace period, so a callback that has already loaded the pointer goes on to dereference freed memory. The two sides share no lock: the ioctl runs under vhost_dev.mutex, while the parent invokes the callback from its own interrupt or workqueue context.
This is not the reopen refcount underflow fixed by commit f6bbf0010ba0 ("vhost-vdpa: fix use-after-free of v->config_ctx"), whi
