CVE-2026-90299In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix sleepable check for tracing/lsm prog
When CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is disabled, a sleepable tracing prog
is allowed to attach to '__x64_'-alike prefix symbols.
It is because the verifier does not verify whether the symbol is a kernel
function or a bpf prog. That said, a sleepable tracing prog is allowed to
attach to a bpf prog target whose name has '__x64_'-alike prefix.
For example, a sleepable fentry prog attaches to a '__x64_sys_nop' XDP
prog, and copies buffer from a user pointer with bpf_copy_from_user()
helper. After attaching the XDP prog to lo interface, the kernel BUG
could be triggered by 'ping -c 1 -W 1 127.0.0.1':
[ 3.460756] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/bpf/trampoline.c:1324
Fix it by disallowing sleepable prog always when its target
btf is not a kernel's btf.
