Subject: CVE-2024-39371: io_uring: check for non-NULL file pointer in io_file_can_poll()

Description
===========

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

io_uring: check for non-NULL file pointer in io_file_can_poll()

In earlier kernels, it was possible to trigger a NULL pointer
dereference off the forced async preparation path, if no file had
been assigned. The trace leading to that looks as follows:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000b0

because the request is marked forced ASYNC and has a bad file fd, and
hence takes the forced async prep path.

Current kernels with the request async prep cleaned up can no longer hit
this issue, but for ease of backporting, let's add this safety check in
here too as it really doesn't hurt. For both cases, this will inevitably
end with a CQE posted with -EBADF.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-39371 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
