In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring/cancel: rearm local work wake up before sleep io_uring_try_cancel_requests() sets ->cq_wait_nr to 1 so that the next io_req_local_work_add() wakes the cancelling task. The add that takes the count to zero is the only one that wakes, later ones see a count <= 0 and return. io_uring_cancel_generic() however only becomes TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE much later, so the one wake up can be spent on a running task. That is fine as long as the entry of that add is still queued, as the io_local_work_pending() check then skips the sleep. It is not if the add was delayed after queueing its entry: CPU0 (submitter in exec or exit) CPU1 (io_req_local_work_add) mpscq_push(req A) io_uring_try_cancel_requests() io_run_local_work() // runs req A io_uring_try_cancel_requests() atomic_set(&ctx->cq_wait_nr, 1) atomic_read(&ctx->cq_wait_nr) == 1 count taken, wake_up_state() // task is running, no-op prepare_to_wait(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) io_local_work_pending() == false schedule() mpscq_push(req B) cq_wait_nr <= 0, return Only the sleeping task can run req B, so it is stuck in execve() until a signal happens to wake it. An exiting task doesn't even get that. Arm the count again once the task state is set and before the work list is checked, for the rings whose local work this task is the one to run.
Read the publisher's advisoryCISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.
This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.
No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.
Compare earlier KEV listings and daily EPSS scores. Advisory wording and affected versions have a separate history.
A prediction change is reported when EPSS rises from below 10% to 10% or higher. Other daily score changes remain in this history.
See how the publisher's advisory changed over time. Each link opens the version saved at that time. The publisher's update date can differ from the date shown here.
Each link identifies one complete publisher record. History can include advisories that previously shared an identifier; an identifier removed by a publisher no longer establishes a current relationship. A historical link shows only that record and earlier saved versions. Failed checks and unchanged reads do not create new versions.
