Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90313)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger an invalid memory access.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in __cgroup_bpf_attach when replacing a cgroup BPF program in multi-attach mode and the attachment fails midway. A local user can perform a failed BPF_F_REPLACE operation and attach another cgroup BPF program to trigger an invalid memory access.

The issue requires an active replaced program with local storage to execute bpf_get_local_storage after the failed attachment.
