CVE-2023-2236 (published 2023-05-01T12:50:47.742Z)
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel io_uring subsystem can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

Both io_install_fixed_file and its callers call fput in a file in case of an error, causing a reference underflow which leads to a use-after-free vulnerability.

We recommend upgrading past commit 9d94c04c0db024922e886c9fd429659f22f48ea4.
