Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-06 12:30 – Updated: 2026-05-08 21:31

Details

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

io_uring/zcrx: fix sgtable leak on mapping failures

In an unlikely case when io_populate_area_dma() fails, which could only happen on a PAGE_POOL_32BIT_ARCH_WITH_64BIT_DMA machine, io_zcrx_map_area() will have an initialised and not freed table. It was supposed to be cleaned up in the error path, but !is_mapped prevents that.

Severity ?

5.5 (Medium)
