Descriptions

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel io_uring subsystem can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

Racing a io_uring cancel poll request with a linked timeout can cause a UAF in a hrtimer.

We recommend upgrading past commit ef7dfac51d8ed961b742218f526bd589f3900a59 (4716c73b188566865bdd79c3a6709696a224ac04 for 5.10 stable and 0e388fce7aec40992eadee654193cad345d62663 for 5.15 stable).

Una vulnerabilidad de use-after-free en el subsistema de io_uring del kernel de Linux puede ser explotada para lograr la escalada de privilegios locales. Ejecutar una solicitud de io_uring cancelar sondeo con un tiempo de espera vinculado puede provocar una UAF en un hrtimer. Recomendamos actualizar al commit anterior ef7dfac51d8ed961b742218f526bd589f3900a59 (4716c73b188566865bdd79c3a6709696a224ac04 para 5.10 stable y 0e388fce7aec40992eadee654193cad345d62663 para 5.15 stable).
