CVE-2026-71227

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

Description A flaw exists in the Asynchronous Input/Output (AIO) interface. A local attacker can cause an application or thread to become unresponsive by reusing an AIO-enabled handle after a completion error occurs. This triggers a non-terminating wait loop within the kcapi aio read all() function, resulting in a persistent denial of service.

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