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

    io_uring/kbuf: reallocate buf lists on upgrade

    IORING_REGISTER_PBUF_RING can reuse an old struct io_buffer_list if it
    was created for legacy selected buffer and has been emptied. It violates
    the requirement that most of the field should stay stable after publish.
    Always reallocate it instead.
