Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-15 15:05:41 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

io_uring/af_unix: defer registered files gc to io_uring release

Instead of putting io_uring's registered files in unix_gc() we want it
to be done by io_uring itself. The trick here is to consider io_uring
registered files for cycle detection but not actually putting them down.
Because io_uring can't register other ring instances, this will remove
all refs to the ring file triggering the ->release path and clean up
with io_ring_ctx_free().
