Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in the io_uring_cancel_generic process. An attacker can cause a CPU to spin indefinitely and potentially trigger a kernel panic by manipulating disabled io_uring rings and orchestrating request completion between parent and child threads.
Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
