IOKit Objects Spoofed No-More-Senders Notification Bug
It turns out that the spoofed no-more-senders notification bug when applied to iokit objects was actually just a more complicated way to hit ::clientClose in parallel. We can in fact do this very simply by calling IOServiceClose on two threads. Like the spoofed notifications this leads to many bugs in many userclients, the exact nature of which depends on the semantics of the clientClose implementation.
Mitigation:
Ensure that IOServiceClose is only called with locks in place.
