CVE-2022-50705 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 24, 2025.
Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/rw: defer fsnotify calls to task context
We can't call these off the kiocb completion as that might be off
soft/hard irq context. Defer the calls to when we process the
task_work for this request. That avoids valid complaints like:
