Kernel crash via unchecked controllen wraparound
Published May 17, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
Integer overflow in io_uring multishot receive handling in Linux allows local users to crash the kernel through a crafted recvmsg request. io_recvmsg_mshot_prep() casts the unsigned controllen value to int before check_add_overflow(), letting a wrapped negative value evade the size check. Low-privileged local access is required, and the resulting invalid header-size calculation can interrupt the entire host.
