In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: fix incorrect io_kiocb reference in io_link_skb
In io_link_skb function, there is a bug where prev_notif is incorrectly assigned using 'nd' instead of 'prev_nd'. This causes the context validation check to compare the current notification with itself instead of comparing it with the previous notification.
Fix by using the correct prev_nd parameter when obtaining prev_notif.
