Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2026-71227 is an improper loop-termination flaw in libkcapi's _kcapi_aio_read_all() AIO read path. When an AIO-enabled handle is reused after an earlier completion error, the function fails to handle a timeout return from io_getevents(), causing it to wait indefinitely rather than exit or propagate an error.
