Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93135)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93135). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Reject programs with inlined helpers if JIT is not available
When an architecture (such as LoongArch, ARM64, and RISC-V) implements
bpf_jit_inlines_helper_call(), the verifier skips rewriting the helper
call offset (insn->imm) in bpf_do_misc_fixups(). This is because the
helper is expected to be inlined by the JIT compiler later. Therefore,
insn->imm remains as the raw helper enum ID.
However, if JIT is disabled at runtime (net.core.bpf_jit_enable=0) or
if JIT compilation fails dynamically (e.g., due to OOM), the program
falls back to the BPF interpreter.
When the interpreter executes (__bpf_call_base + insn->imm) with the
unpatched raw ID, it jumps into an invalid address space, triggering
an instruction alignment fault or a kernel panic.
Although these helpers have valid C implementations in the kernel, the
omission of offset rewriting makes runtime interpreter fallback fatal.
Fix this by setting 'prog->jit_required = 1' when helper call rewriting
is skipped for JIT inlining. This ensures that such programs are safely
rejected if JIT is not available, preventing the runtime kernel panic.
