Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/aio: Check IOCB_AIO_RW before the struct aio_kiocb conversion
The first kiocb_set_cancel_fn() argument may point at a struct kiocb
that is not embedded inside struct aio_kiocb. With the current code,
depending on the compiler, the req->ki_ctx read happens either before
the IOCB_AIO_RW test or after that test. Move the req->ki_ctx read such
that it is guaranteed that the IOCB_AIO_RW test happens first.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Asynchronous I/O (AIO) subsystem. This issue occurs when handling I/O control blocks (IOCBs), where the kernel fails to properly check the `IOCB_AIO_RW` flag before converting the `aio_kiocb` structure. This oversight could lead to incorrect handling of I/O requests, resulting in unintended behavior or memory corruption.
