Description Robb Gatica 2024-02-23 19:47:43 UTC 
setuid() does not affect libuv's internal io_uring operations if initialized before the call to setuid(). This allows the process to perform privileged operations despite presumably having dropped such privileges through a call to setuid().

Impacts:
This vulnerability affects all users in active release lines: 20.x, and 21.x.
