Hello Team,

A use-after-free flaw was found in the io_uring in Linux kernel, where a
local attacker with a user privilege could cause a denial of service
problem on the system

The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object
prior to performing operations on the object by not incrementing the file
reference counter while in use.

The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity,
confidentiality and system availability.

'CVE-2021-20226' was assigned by Red Hat.

This issue was reported by Ryota Shiga of Flatt Security Team.
