Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Incorrect argument types in the io_uring/cmd_net component, specifically within the skb_queue_splice() function, lead to transposed arguments during a retry of timestamp retrieval. This transposition causes data to be spliced in the wrong direction into an on-stack list, potentially leading to data integrity issues or system instability.
