Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64371)

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

CVSSv4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in procfs handlers for task statistics, wchan, map_files, and namespace links when accessing process information during concurrent exec state updates without exec_update_lock protection. A local user can access affected /proc interfaces to disclose sensitive information.

The issue involves calls to ptrace_may_access() without the required exec_update_lock protection.
