In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen: privcmd: Fix possible access to a freed kirqfd instance
Nothing prevents simultaneous ioctl calls to privcmd_irqfd_assign() and
privcmd_irqfd_deassign(). If that happens, it is possible that a kirqfd
created and added to the irqfds_list by privcmd_irqfd_assign() may get
removed by another thread executing privcmd_irqfd_deassign(), while the
former is still using it after dropping the locks.
This can lead to a situation where an already freed kirqfd instance may
be accessed and cause kernel oops.
Use SRCU locking to prevent the same, as is done for the KVM
implementation for irqfds.
