CVE-2025-71149

MEDIUM

Linux kernel - Info Disclosure

Title source: llm

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring/poll: correctly handle io_poll_add() return value on update When the core of io_uring was updated to handle completions consistently and with fixed return codes, the POLL_REMOVE opcode with updates got slightly broken. If a POLL_ADD is pending and then POLL_REMOVE is used to update the events of that request, if that update causes the POLL_ADD to now trigger, then that completion is lost and a CQE is never posted. Additionally, ensure that if an update does cause an existing POLL_ADD to complete, that the completion value isn't always overwritten with -ECANCELED. For that case, whatever io_poll_add() set the value to should just be retained.
