Use of uninitialized resource in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-46315

Vulnerability identifier: #VU134185

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46315

CWE-ID: CWE-908

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to uninitialized memory usage in io_uring IORING_OP_WAITID result handling when copying waitid result data to userspace. A local user can trigger a wait operation that completes without reporting a child event to disclose sensitive information.

The issue occurs because stale bytes from reused io_kiocb command storage may be copied to userspace siginfo when no child event information is written.
