Improper Input Validation Affecting kernel-rt-doc package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-doc package and not the kernel-rt-doc package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

io_uring: fix link timeout refs

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 10242 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0x15b/0x1a0 lib/refcount.c:28 RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x15b/0x1a0 lib/refcount.c:28 Call Trace: __refcount_sub_and_test include/linux/refcount.h:283 [inline] __refcount_dec_and_test include/linux/refcount.h:315 [inline] refcount_dec_and_test include/linux/refcount.h:333 [inline] io_put_req fs/io_uring.c:2140 [inline] io_queue_linked_timeout fs/io_uring.c:6300 [inline] __io_queue_sqe+0xbef/0xec0 fs/io_uring.c:6354 io_submit_sqe fs/io_uring.c:6534 [inline] io_submit_sqes+0x2bbd/0x7c50 fs/io_uring.c:6660 __do_sys_io_uring_enter fs/io_uring.c:9240 [inline] __se_sys_io_uring_enter+0x256/0x1d60 fs/io_uring.c:9182

io_link_timeout_fn() should put only one reference of the linked timeout request, however in case of racing with the master request's completion first io_req_complete() puts one and then io_put_req_deferred() is called.
