  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  pipe: preserve existing fasync readers on writer setup failure  F_SETFL and FIOASYNC decide whether to invoke -\u003efasync() before pipe_fasync() takes pipe-\u003emutex. Two enables of one O_RDWR FIFO can therefore both enter the callback.  fasync_helper() allocates before checking for an existing entry. If the first enable installs both entries, a second enable can update the reader entry and then fail the allocation for the writer entry. The error path removes the pre-existing reader entry, clearing FASYNC while the writer entry remains registered. __fput() then skips -\u003efasync(), so a later pipe notification can dereference the freed file or its f_owner. An unprivileged memory-pressure reproducer triggers a KASAN slab-use-after-free in send_sigio() through this path.  Keep the reader helper's result and undo the registration only if this call added it. The pipe mutex serializes changes to both lists, so a failed new registration still removes its reader, while a failed duplicate preserves the existing registrations and FASYNC. Successful duplicate enables continue to update fa_fd as before.",
