CVE-2025-40216

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The Linux kernel contains an issue within the io uring/rsrc subsystem. The problem arises because the system does not guarantee alignment for user pointers. Specifically, the calculation of an offset for the first page within a folio after coalescing utilizes flawed bit mask logic. This logic has been removed to address the issue.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
