CVE-2021-47123 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring: fix ltout double free on completion race Always remove linked timeout on io_link_timeout_fn() from the master request link list, otherwise we may get use-after-free when first io_link_timeout_fn() puts linked timeout in the fail path, and then will be found and put on master's free.. EPSS estimates a 0.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
