CVE-2026-98037

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject untrusted allocated-object pointers When the final RCU read-side critical section ends, a local kptr is demoted to PTRUNTRUSTED but retains MEMALLOC. The pointer may be NULL or may refer to an object whose lifetime is...

CVE-2026-98037 bpf: Reject untrusted allocated-object pointers

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject untrusted allocated-object pointers When the final RCU read-side critical section ends, a local kptr is demoted to PTRUNTRUSTED but retains MEMALLOC. The pointer may be NULL or may refer to an object whose lifetime is...

CVE-2026-98037

The Linux kernel contains a vulnerability where a local kptr demoted to PTR_UNTRUSTED after an RCU read-side critical section ends retains the MEM_ALLOC flag. Because type_is_ptr_alloc_obj() recognizes any PTR_TO_BTF_ID with MEM_ALLOC as a live object, a kfunc can erroneously pass a NULL or stale...

SUSE CVE-2026-90217

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Compare iterator types during state pruning An iterator stack slot can be MEMRCU or PTRUNTRUSTED. These states must not be equal, or the verifier can prune an unsafe path. Compare the pointer type for STACKITER slots...

CVE-2026-93144

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject writes through untrusted BTF pointers checkptrtobtfaccess lets program-type btfstructaccess callbacks validate writes before the default BTF access path rejects non-read accesses. That bypasses the read-only policy fo...

CVE-2026-93144

CVE-2026-93144 affects the Linux kernel BPF subsystem, specifically the check_ptr_to_btf_access() path. The root cause is that program-type btf_struct_access callbacks can validate writes before the default BTF access path rejects non-read accesses, bypassing the read-only policy enforced for unt...

CVE-2026-90217: Undefined Security Weakness

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Compare iterator types during state pruning An iterator stack slot can be MEMRCU or PTRUNTRUSTED. These states must not be equal, or the verifier can prune an unsafe path. Compare the pointer type for STACKITER slots...

Linux Kernel Security Vulnerabilities

The Linux kernel has a security vulnerability. This vulnerability arises from the lack of comparison of the pointer type in the STACKITER slot during state pruning. The iterator stack slot may be set to MEMRCU or PTRUNTRUSTED, which can lead to insecure paths during validation pruning...

Linux Kernel Security Vulnerabilities

The Linux kernel version 6.2 contains security vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities stem from the checkptrtobtfaccess function, which allows the btfstructaccess callback for program types to validate write operations before default BTF access paths reject non-reading accesses. This may bypass t...
