CVE-2019-10125 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. An issue was discovered in aio_poll() in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel through 5.0.4. A file may be released by aio_poll_wake() if an expected event is triggered immediately (e.g., by the close of a pair of pipes) after the return of vfs_poll(), and this will cause a use-after-free.. EPSS estimates a 5.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
