- Mitigation guidance
- To mitigate this issue, applications should avoid initializing `libkcapi` handles with `KCAPI_INIT_AIO` if AIO functionality is not strictly required. If AIO must be used, applications should destroy and reinitialize `libkcapi` handles after any AIO completion error, rather than reusing them for subsequent AIO operations.
