Summary
CVE-2026-99263 affecting package kernel 6.6.159.1-1
Details

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

io_uring/poll: avoid retry wakeup loss when dropping ownership

If a wakeup sets IO_POLL_RETRY_FLAG between the owning task consuming the existing instance of IO_POLL_RETRY_FLAG and the loop check of io_poll_check_events(), then we stall on processing the request until an unrelated wakeup comes along.

Using atomic_cmpxchg instead of atomic_sub_return to guarantee both the count v and poll_refs are 0 and no wake-ups are missed.
