CVE-2024-50082 is a race condition in the Linux kernel blk-rq-qos subsystem between rq_qos_wait() and rq_qos_wake_function(). The vulnerable wake function sets the token state and removes a stack-resident waitqueue entry before calling wake_up_process() using the entry's data->task pointer. A concurrent rq_qos_wait() can observe the removed entry, return from finish_wait(), and reuse its stack storage before the wake function dereferences data->task. The wake function can consequently pass a stale or corrupted task pointer to wake_up_process(). The fix wakes the task before removing the waitqueue entry and uses list_del_init_careful() to synchronize correctly with finish_wait().
