Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53096)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an improper use of RCU-safe iteration in dev_map_redirect_multi() and dev_map_enqueue_multi() when processing BPF devmap hash buckets under RCU protection. A local user can trigger concurrent updates and lookups to cause a denial of service.

On weakly ordered architectures, readers may observe a partially constructed node.
