CVE-2026-98058

Estado: En análisisSin puntuar—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Mark syscall helpers as sleepable

bpf_sys_bpf() executes the bpf(2) syscall body, which can take mutexes, allocate with GFP_KERNEL, and wait for an RCU grace period. bpf_sys_close() reaches close_fd() and filp_close(), which can sleep as well.

Both helpers are limited to BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL, whose main program is sleepable. That does not make every callback sleepable: a syscall program can register a bpf_timer callback, and the verifier checks that callback in a non-sleepable context while retaining the syscall helper set.

Without .might_sleep on the prototypes, such a callback can invoke bpf_sys_bpf() from hrtimer softirq context and trigger a scheduling-while-atomic failure. bpf_sys_close() is exposed through the same missing context check.

Set .might_sleep on both prototypes so the existing helper-context check rejects them from timer callbacks and other atomic regions. Calls from the sleepable main body remain valid.
