CVE-2024-50082 is a race condition in the Linux kernel blk-rq-qos subsystem involving rq_qos_wait() and rq_qos_wake_function(). The waiting task stores its waitqueue entry and associated rq_qos data on its stack. The vulnerable wake function sets the token flag and removes the waitqueue entry before invoking wake_up_process() using the task pointer in that stack-resident data. A concurrent waiter can observe the removed entry, have finish_wait() return without synchronizing with the waker, return from rq_qos_wait(), and reuse the stack storage. The waker can then dereference a stale or corrupted task pointer. The fix wakes the task before removing the waitqueue entry and uses list_del_init_careful() to synchronize with finish_wait() and list_empty_careful().
