Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-24 12:06:59 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

io_uring: fix memory leak when removing provided buffers

When removing provided buffers, io_buffer structs are not being disposed
of, leading to a memory leak. They can't be freed individually, because
they are allocated in page-sized groups. They need to be added to some
free list instead, such as io_buffers_cache. All callers already hold
the lock protecting it, apart from when destroying buffers, so had to
extend the lock there.
