Summary

In the Linux kernel's io_uring, there is an issue with preserving per-task restrictions across exec. These restrictions are dropped during task context cleanup, allowing an unrestricted ring to be created after exec.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to security bypass and unauthorized access to io_uring features, increasing the risk of privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that separates task context cleanup from restriction cleanup to preserve restrictions after exec.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring: preserve task restrictions across exec Per-task restrictions apply to all rings created by a task. Once installed, they should not be dropped across exec. For a task that has used io_uring, the exec cancellation path calls __io_uring_free(). This frees both the task context and the per-task restriction, so a ring created after exec is unrestricted. Split task context cleanup into io_uring_free_tctx(), and use it from the exec cancellation path. Keep __io_uring_free() for final task cleanup, where both the context and restriction are released.
