These\npointers are initially copied on fork() via arch_dup_task_struct()\nand then cleared via copy_thread() before fork() returns. If fork()\nhappens to fail after the initial task dup and before copy_thread(),\nthe newly allocated task and associated thread_struct memory are\nfreed via free_task() -> arch_release_task_struct(). This results in\na double free of the guarded storage and runtime info structs\nbecause the fields in the failed task still refer to memory\nassociated with the source task.\n\nThis problem can manifest as a BUG_ON() in set_freepointer() (with\nCONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED enabled) or KASAN splat (if enabled)\nwhen running trinity syscall fuzz tests on s390x. To avoid this\nproblem, clear the associated pointer fields in\narch_dup_task_struct() immediately after the new task is copied.\nNote that the RI flag is still cleared in copy_thread() because it\nresides in thread stack memory and that is where stack info is\ncopied.","affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"8d9047f8b967ce6181fd824ae922978e1b055cc0"},{"fixed":"25a95303b9e513cd2978aacc385d06e6fec23d07"},{"fixed":"cacd522e6652fbc2dc0cc6ae11c4e30782fef14b"},{"fixed":"297ae7e87a87a001dd3dfeac1cb26a42fd929708"},{"fixed":"8195e065abf3df84eb0ad2987e76a40f21d1791c"},{"fixed":"fbdc482d43eda40a70de4b0155843d5472f6de62"},{"fixed":"13cccafe0edcd03bf1c841de8ab8a1c8e34f77d9"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"9e51ee1b76efc7b5e9404010793a39fde0e03cb7"},{"last_affected":"232b47b3c88af1da737cd7760f247c4ed58168cf"},{"last_affected":"b8e212c599082896a180a18a0c9bd529526590be"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"4.4.105"},{"fixed":"4.5"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"4.9.68"},{"fixed":"4.10"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"4.14.5"},{"fixed":"4.15"}]}],"versions":["v4.14","v4.14.4","v4.9.67","v4.4.104","v4.14.3","v4.9.66","v4.4.103","v4.14.2","v4.9.65","v4.4.102","v4.14-rc1","v4.4.101","v4.14.1","v4.9.64","v4.4.100","v4.14-rc7","v4.9.63","v4.4.99","v4.9.62","v4.4.98","v4.4.97","v4.9.61","v4.14-rc3","v4.13","v4.14-rc8","v4.9.60","v4.4.96","v4.14-rc4","v4.14-rc6","v4.9.59","v4.4.95","v4.14-rc2","v4.14-rc5","v4.9.58","v4.4.94","v4.9.57","v4.4.93","v4.9.56","v4.4.92","v4.9.55","v4.9.54","v4.4.91","v4.9.53","v4.4.90","v4.9.52","v4.4.89","v4.9.51","v4.4.88","v4.13-rc2","v4.9.50","v4.9.49","v4.4.87","v4.9.48","v4.13-rc1","v4.13-rc3","v4.9.47","v4.4.86","v4.13-rc7","v4.9.46","v4.4.85","v4.13-rc4","v4.13-rc5","v4.13-rc6","v4.9.45","v4.4.84","v4.9.44","v4.4.83","v4.9.43","v4.4.82","v4.9.42","v4.4.81","v4.4.80","v4.9.41","v4.4.79","v4.9.40","v4.12-rc1","v4.9.39","v4.4.78","v4.12","v4.4.77","v4.9.38","v4.9.37","v4.4.76","v4.12-rc5","v4.9.36","v4.12-rc7","v4.9.35","v4.4.75","v4.12-rc6","v4.12-rc4","v4.9.34","v4.4.74","v4.12-rc2","v4.4.73","v4.9.33","v4.12-rc3","v4.9.32","v4.4.72","v4.11","v4.9.31","v4.4.71","v4.9.30","v4.4.70","v4.9.29","v4.4.69","v4.9.28","v4.4.68","v4.9.27","v4.4.67","v4.11-rc1","v4.9.26","v4.4.66","v4.11-rc6","v4.9.25","v4.4.65","v4.11-rc8","v4.4.64","v4.9.24","v4.4.63","v4.11-rc7","v4.11-rc3","v4.9.23","v4.4.62","v4.11-rc5","v4.11-rc2","v4.4.61","v4.9.22","v4.11-rc4","v4.9.21","v4.4.60","v4.4.59","v4.9.20","v4.9.19","v4.4.58","v4.9.18","v4.4.57","v4.10","v4.9.17","v4.4.56","v4.9.16","v4.4.55","v4.9.15","v4.4.54","v4.9.14","v4.4.53","v4.9.13","v4.4.52","v4.9","v4.9.12","v4.4.51","v4.9.11","v4.4.50","v4.10-rc8","v4.10-rc3","v4.10-rc1","v4.10-rc7","v4.4.49","v4.9.10","v4.10-rc6","v4.10-rc2","v4.9.9","v4.4.48","v4.10-rc5","v4.9.8","v4.4.47","v4.9.7","v4.4.46","v4.9.6","v4.4.45","v4.10-rc4","v4.9.5","v4.4.44","v4.9.4","v4.4.43","v4.9.3","v4.4.42","v4.9.2","v4.4.41","v4.9.1","v4.4.40","v4.4.39","v4.9-rc7","v4.9-rc6","v4.9-rc8","v4.4.38","v4.9-rc1","v4.4.37","v4.9-rc5","v4.4.36","v4.9-rc3","v4.4.35","v4.9-rc4","v4.4.34","v4.9-rc2","v4.4.33","v4.4.32","v4.4.31","v4.4.30","v4.8","v4.4.29","v4.4.28","v4.4.27","v4.4.26","v4.4.25","v4.4.24","v4.4.23","v4.8-rc8","v4.8-rc2","v4.8-rc1","v4.8-rc7","v4.4.22","v4.8-rc6","v4.8-rc5","v4.4.21","v4.8-rc4","v4.4.20","v4.8-rc3","v4.7","v4.4.19","v4.4.18","v4.4.17","v4.4.16","v4.7-rc4","v4.7-rc2","v4.4.15","v4.7-rc1","v4.7-rc7","v4.7-rc6","v4.7-rc3","v4.4.14","v4.7-rc5","v4.4.13","v4.6","v4.6-rc1","v4.4.12","v4.4.11","v4.6-rc6","v4.6-rc4","v4.6-rc7","v4.4.10","v4.6-rc5","v4.5-rc4","v4.6-rc2","v4.4.9","v4.6-rc3","v4.4.8","v4.5","v4.4.7","v4.4.6","v4.4","v4.5-rc1","v4.5-rc6","v4.4.5","v4.5-rc2","v4.5-rc7","v4.5-rc5","v4.4.4","v4.5-rc3","v4.4.3","v4.4.2","v4.4.1","v4.4-rc1","v4.4-rc2","v4.4-rc8","v4.4-rc3","v4.4-rc7","v4.4-rc5","v4.4-rc6","v4.4-rc4","v4.3","v4.3-rc1","v4.3-rc6","v4.3-rc4","v4.3-rc2","v4.3-rc7","v4.3-rc5","v4.3-rc3","v4.2","v4.2-rc2","v4.2-rc1","v4.2-rc8","v4.2-rc4","v4.2-rc6","v4.2-rc7","v4.0-rc5","v4.2-rc5","v4.2-rc3","v4.1-rc2","v4.1","v4.1-rc1","v4.1-rc8","v4.1-rc7","v4.1-rc6","v4.1-rc3","v4.1-rc4","v4.0","v4.1-rc5","v4.0-rc1","v4.0-rc2","v4.0-rc7","v4.0-rc3","v4.0-rc6","v4.0-rc4","v3.19","v3.19-rc7","v3.19-rc5","v3.19-rc1","v3.19-rc6","v3.19-rc4","v3.18-rc1","v3.19-rc3","v3.19-rc2","v3.18","v3.18-rc7","v3.18-rc6","v3.18-rc2","v3.18-rc3","v3.18-rc4","v3.18-rc5","v3.17","v3.17-rc1","v3.17-rc7","v3.17-rc2","v3.17-rc4","v3.16","v3.17-rc5","v3.17-rc6","v3.17-rc3","v3.16-rc7","v3.16-rc1","v3.16-rc3","v3.16-rc5","v3.16-rc6","v3.16-rc2","v3.16-rc4","v3.13","v3.15","v3.15-rc5","v3.15-rc8","v3.15-rc1","v3.15-rc6","v3.15-rc3","v3.15-rc7","v3.15-rc2","v3.15-rc4","v3.14","v3.14-rc4","v3.14-rc8","v3.14-rc7","v3.14-rc6","v3.14-rc1","v3.14-rc2","v3.14-rc5","v3.14-rc3","v3.13-rc6","v3.13-rc8","v3.12","v3.13
