What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

io_uring/kbuf: check if target buffer list is still legacy on recycle

There's a gap between when the buffer was grabbed and when it

potentially gets recycled, where if the list is empty, someone could've

upgraded it to a ring provided type. This can happen if the request

is forced via io-wq. The legacy recycling is missing checking if the

buffer_list still exists, and if it's of the correct type. Add those

checks.
