Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-28 12:05:13 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

io_uring/zcrx: fix overshooting recv limit

It's reported that sometimes a zcrx request can receive more than was
requested. It's caused by io_zcrx_recv_skb() adjusting desc->count for
all received buffers including frag lists, but then doing recursive
calls to process frag list skbs, which leads to desc->count double
accounting and underflow.
