Summary
[none]
Details

There is a logic error in io_uring's implementation which can be used to trigger a use-after-free vulnerability leading to privilege escalation.

In the ioprepasyncwork function the assumption that the last iograbidentity call cannot return false is not true, and in this case the function will use the initcred or the previous linked requests identity to do operations instead of using the current identity. This can lead to reference counting issues causing use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past version 5.10.161.
