CVE-2026-93043
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Disallow interpreter fallback for gotox insn
The interpreter does not recognize the BPF_JMP|BPF_JA|BPF_X insn, which is used for insn_array map. Thereafter, it would hit the BUG_ON() in ___bpf_prog_run() at run time.
Set jit_required as true when insn_array map is used in the prog in order to disallow interpreter fallback for gotox insn in core.c::__bpf_prog_select_runtime().

CVSS
NVD hasn't assigned a CVSS score to this CVE (common since the April 2026 policy change).
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.20%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 9
- Score date: 10/4/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
