Race condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-93138

Vulnerability identifier: #VU150871

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-93138

CWE-ID: CWE-362

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to access incompletely initialized vmlinux BTF data.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in bpf_get_btf_vmlinux when concurrently invoking the function during first-time vmlinux BTF parsing. A local user can invoke the affected function concurrently to access incompletely initialized vmlinux BTF data.

The race can occur on weakly ordered architectures when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled.
