CVE-2025-38196
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/rsrc: validate buffer count with offset for cloning
syzbot reports that it can trigger a WARN_ON() for kmalloc() attempt that's too big:

which is due to offset + buffer_count being too large. The registration code checks only the total count of buffers, but given that the indexing is an array, it should also check offset + count. That can't exceed IORING_MAX_REG_BUFFERS either, as there's no way to reach buffers beyond that limit.
There's no issue with registrering a table this large, outside of the fact that it's pointless to register buffers that cannot be reached, and that it can trigger this kmalloc() warning for attempting an allocation that is too large.
