Race condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-23473

Vulnerability identifier: #VU124896

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23473

CWE-ID: CWE-362

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of a wakeup race in io_uring multishot recv polling when processing socket wakeups and shutdown state changes. A local user can trigger back-to-back socket send and shutdown events to cause a denial of service.

The issue can cause the multishot recv operation to hang indefinitely because the shutdown event may be lost and no further wakeups occur.
