bpf: Reject arena frees below the arena base
Summary
| CVE | CVE-2026-93045 |
| State | PUBLISHED |
| Assigner | Linux |
| Source Priority | CVE Program / NVD first with legacy fallback |

| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Reject arena frees below the arena base
bpf_arena_free_pages() accepts scalar arena addresses. The runtime
masks the address to the low 32 bits and reconstructs a full user
address from the arena base before returning the range to the arena
free tree.
When the scalar value is below the low 32 bits of the arena base,
full_uaddr falls below user_vm_start. The existing upper-end clipping
then turns this into an out-of-range free-tree offset. A later
allocation can reuse that offset and return an address below the arena
mapping.
Reject such frees before computing the clipped range. |
