Numeric Truncation Error in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-93125

Vulnerability identifier: #VU150877

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-93125

CWE-ID: CWE-197

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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.
