Description
A flaw was found in the io_uring/zcrx component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability involves a race condition where two operations can manipulate the same memory counter simultaneously without proper synchronization. This can lead to a memory object being freed twice, followed by an out-of-bounds write. Such memory corruption could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges or execute arbitrary code, potentially compromising the system.
