Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local user could potentially exploit an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the io_uring/fdinfo component, specifically within the __io_uring_show_fdinfo() function. This issue arises from an incorrect wrap check when processing 128-byte Submission Queue Entries (SQEs) on an IORING_SETUP_SQE_MIXED ring, which can cause the array index to exceed its allocated boundary. Successful exploitation of this flaw could lead to information disclosure or system instability.
