Vulnerability in the io_uring subsystem of the Linux kernel that allows privilege escalation in the system

A vulnerability (CVE-2022-2602) has been identified in the implementation of the asynchronous input/output interface io_uring, which has been included in the Linux kernel since release 5.1, allowing an unprivileged user to gain root rights in the system.
