Race condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64375

Published: July 27, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU139595
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64375
CWE-ID: CWE-362
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in proc_pid_get_link() and proc_pid_readlink() when handling access to /proc pid link targets. A local user can trigger concurrent task state changes to disclose sensitive information.

The issue affects file descriptor-related proc links and involves ptrace_may_access() checks performed on a different task lookup than the one used for the actual access.
