CVE-2026-74335
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_task_from_vpid()
bpf_task_from_vpid() looks up a task in the pid namespace of the current task, via find_task_by_vpid():
cgroup_skb programs run in softirq, which may interrupt a task that is itself in do_exit(). Once that task has passed exit_notify() -> release_task() -> __unhash_process(), its thread_pid is cleared, so task_active_pid_ns(current) returns NULL and find_pid_ns() dereferences &NULL->idr:
Bail out when current has no pid namespace.
