CVE-2026-43366
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/kbuf: check if target buffer list is still legacy on recycle
There's a gap between when the buffer was grabbed and when it potentially gets recycled, where if the list is empty, someone could've upgraded it to a ring provided type. This can happen if the request is forced via io-wq. The legacy recycling is missing checking if the buffer_list still exists, and if it's of the correct type. Add those checks.
