Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Numeric Truncation Error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-93125)

CWE-ID: CWE-197 - Numeric Truncation Error

CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass BPF verifier memory-access checks.

The vulnerability exists due to numeric truncation in the BPF verifier's check_kfunc_args() function when processing rdonly_buf_size or rdwr_buf_size kfunc arguments larger than U32_MAX. A local user can load a BPF program that supplies an oversized buffer-size argument to bypass BPF verifier memory-access checks.
