CVE-2022-49465: kernel: blk-throttle: Set BIO_THROTTLED when bio has been throttled
Component: kernel
Severity: Moderate
CWE: CWE-416 (Use After Free)
CVSS v3: 6 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H)

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

blk-throttle: Set BIO_THROTTLED when bio has been throttled

1.In current process, all bio will set the BIO_THROTTLED flag
after __blk_throtl_bio().

2.If bio needs to be throttled, it will start the timer and
stop submit bio directly. Bio will submit in
blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() when the timer expires.But in
the current process, if bio is throttled. The BIO_THROTTLED
will be set to bio after timer start. If the bio has been
completed, it may cause use-after-free blow.
