CVE-2024-40900

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cachefiles: remove requests from xarray during flushing requests

Even with CACHEFILES_DEAD set, we can still read the requests, so in the
following concurrency the request may be used after it has been freed:

     mount  |   daemon_thread1    |    daemon_thread2
------------------------------------------------------------
 cachefiles_ondemand_init_object
  cachefiles_ondemand_send_req
   REQ_A = kzalloc(sizeof(*req) + data_len)
   wait_for_completion(&REQ_A->done)
            cachefiles_daemon_read
             cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read
                                  // close dev fd
                                  cachefiles_flush_reqs
                                   complete(&REQ_A->done)
   kfree(REQ_A)
              xa_lock(&cache->reqs);
              cachefiles_ondemand_select_req
                req->msg.opcode != CACHEFILES_OP_READ
                // req use-after-free !!!
              xa_unlock(&cache->reqs);
                                   xa_destroy(&cache->reqs)

Hence remove requests from cache->reqs when flushing them to avoid
accessing freed requests.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
