A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel in commits cc7f13d006fcefed9564bd79f135b51d344e9c77, 685b49483200384d7f49d338af476e26e6824637, and 2d5af21422060c088f6e4fb0f1e7dcf5bcdd6707. Users should update to a Linux kernel version including these commits to remediate the issue.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel io_uring subsystem was fixed to prevent leaving list poison values in the ->hash_node field. The issue occurs because io_uring_cmd_del_cancelable() uses hlist_del(), which leaves LIST_POISON1/2 markers behind. These poisoned pointers can cause a general protection fault and potential kernel memory corruption when requests are recycled without proper reinitialization. The flaw could lead to a kernel crash due to wild memory access.
