kernel: eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion Ensure that epoll instances can never form a graph deeper than EPMAXNESTS+1 links. Currently, eploopcheckproc ensures that the graph is loop-free and does some recursion depth checks, but...

CVE-2025-38614

The CVE-2025-38614 entry describes a Linux kernel vulnerability in eventpoll where recursion depth in ep_loop_check_proc() could form deep trees and trigger semi-unbounded recursion. The root cause involved two shortcomings: (1) the depth checks did not consider upward paths, and (2) multiple dow...
