NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-debug package and not the kernel-64k-debug package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

io_uring: Fix release of pinned pages when __io_uaddr_map fails

Looking at the error path of __io_uaddr_map, if we fail after pinning the pages for any reasons, ret will be set to -EINVAL and the error handler won't properly release the pinned pages.

I didn't manage to trigger it without forcing a failure, but it can happen in real life when memory is heavily fragmented.
