Read the fucking article. Even if it's undetailed and basically clickbait. io_uring does not open any security holes nor does it help to bring rootkits into the system. It might be used to hide an already installed rootkit from certain monitoring systems. Supposed that the security system they are part of was already compromised enough to allow someone to intrude and install the rootkit first of all.
