Summary
CVE-2026-64425 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.145.2-1
Details

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

iouring/io-wq: re-check IOWQBITEXIT for each linked work item

commit 10dc95939817 ("iouring/io-wq: check IOWQBITEXIT inside work run loop") fixed the obvious case where ioworkerhandle_work() took one exit-bit snapshot before draining pending work, but the fix stops one level too early.

ioworkerhandlework() now re-checks IOWQBITEXIT in its outer work run loop, yet it still snapshots that bit once before processing a whole dependent linked-work chain. If iowqexitstart() sets IOWQBITEXIT after the first linked item has started, the remaining linked items can still reuse stale dokill = false, skip IOWQWORKCANCEL, and continue running after exit has begun.

Move the check further inside, so it covers linked items too. Note: this is a syzbot special as it loves setting up tons of slow linked work on weird devices like msr that take forever to read, and immediately close the ring. Exit then takes a long time.
