Use-after-free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-90392

Vulnerability identifier: #VU151088

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-2026-90392

CWE-ID: CWE-416

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a use-after-free condition.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in bpf_link_show_fdinfo and bpf_link_get_info_by_fd when reading BPF link information while a linked program is concurrently replaced via bpf_link_update. A local user can concurrently replace a linked program and read BPF link information to trigger a use-after-free condition.
