This could be used to create a heap overflow leading to arbitrary code execution in the kernel. It was addressed via commit d1f82808877b (\"io_uring: truncate lengths larger than MAX_RW_COUNT on provide buffers\") (v5.13-rc1) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4, v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced in ddf0322db79c (\"io_uring: add IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS\") (v5.7-rc1)."},{"lang":"es","value":"El subsistema io_uring del kernel de Linux permitía saltarse el límite MAX_RW_COUNT en la operación PROVIDE_BUFFERS, lo que llevaba a utilizar valores negativos en mem_rw al leer /proc//mem.
