CVE-2025-21655

CVE-2025-21655 affects the Linux kernel io_uring/eventfd path. The root cause is that io_eventfd_do_signal() frees an io_ev_fd immediately when the refcount drops to zero, instead of deferring to a subsequent RCU grace period. The fix defers freeing by calling io_eventfd_put() (replacing the inli...
