CVE-2026-71226 is a memory-corruption vulnerability in libkcapi's one-shot asynchronous I/O (AIO) path. When an error occurs after I/O control blocks have been submitted, the affected path can return before all outstanding requests are canceled or drained. The kernel can subsequently complete those requests and write to output buffers still owned, reused, or released by the caller, resulting in unsafe memory modification.
