Linux io_uring-Based Rootkit Discovered, Bypasses System Call Monitoring

A rootkit based on Linux io_uring has been discovered, capable of bypassing system call monitoring, rendering major security tools ineffective. This technique exploits the io_uring functionality of Linux to perform input/output operations asynchronously, allowing the rootkit to avoid detection by traditional security tools that monitor system calls. The impact of this discovery is significant, as it calls into question the effectiveness of current threat detection methods based on system calls.
