Summary

In the Linux kernel, in the io_uring subsystem for network commands, the skb_queue_splice() function received transposed arguments when retrying timestamp retrieval. This caused packets to be spliced in the wrong direction, into the on-stack list instead of the socket queue. The fix reverses the arguments to restore correct behavior.

Risk Assessment

This bug can lead to incorrect network packet processing, potentially causing data loss or unexpected behavior in network I/O operations.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing this fix to ensure correct timestamp retrieval in io_uring.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring/cmd_net: fix wrong argument types for skb_queue_splice() If timestamp retriving needs to be retried and the local list of SKB's already has entries, then it's spliced back into the socket queue. However, the arguments for the splice helper are transposed, causing exactly the wrong direction of splicing into the on-stack list. Fix that up.
