CVE-ID: CVE-2026-92519

CWE-ID: CWE-401

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper memory release in the RISC-V BPF JIT cleanup routine bpf_jit_free() when JIT compilation fails for a later BPF subprogram. A local user can trigger JIT compilation failure for a later BPF subprogram to cause a denial of service.
