In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf: sched: Fix perf crash with new is_user_task() helper In order to do a user space stacktrace the current task needs to be a user task that has executed in user space. It use to be possible to test if a task is a user task or not by simply checking the task_struct mm field. If it was non NULL, it was a user task and if not it was a kernel task. But things have changed over time, and some kernel tasks now have their own mm field. An idea was made to instead test PF_KTHREAD and two functions were used to wrap this check in case it became more complex to test if a task was a user task or not[1]. But this was rejected and the C code simply checked the PF_KTHREAD directly. It was later found that not all kernel threads set PF_KTHREAD. The io-uring helpers instead set PF_USER_WORKER and this needed to be added as well. But checking the flags is still not enough. There's a very small window when a task exits that it frees its mm field and it is set back to NULL. If perf were to trigger at this moment, the flags test would say its a user space task but when perf would read the mm field it would crash with at NULL pointer dereference. Now there are flags that can be used to test if a task is exiting, but they are set in areas that perf may still want to profile the user space task (to see where it exited). The only real test is to check both the flags and the mm field. Instead of making this modification in every location, create a new is_user_task() helper function that does all the tests needed to know if it is safe to read the user space memory or not.

(CVE-2026-23224)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: split cached_fid     bitfields to avoid shared-byte RMW races is_open, has_lease and on_list are stored in the same bitfield     byte in struct cached_fid but are updated in different code paths that may run concurrently. Bitfield     assignments generate byte read-modify-write operations (e.g. `orb $mask, addr` on x86_64), so updating one     flag can restore stale values of the others. A possible interleaving is: CPU1: load old byte (has_lease=1,     on_list=1) CPU2: clear both flags (store 0) CPU1: RMW store (old | IS_OPEN) -> reintroduces cleared bits     To avoid this class of races, convert these flags to separate bool fields.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - perf: sched: Fix perf crash with new is_user_task() helper In order to do a user space stacktrace the     current task needs to be a user task that has executed in user space. It use to be possible to test if a     task is a user task or not by simply checking the task_struct mm field. If it was non NULL, it was a user     task and if not it was a kernel task. But things have changed over time, and some kernel tasks now have     their own mm field. An idea was made to instead test PF_KTHREAD and two functions were used to wrap this     check in case it became more complex to test if a task was a user task or not[1]. But this was rejected     and the C code simply checked the PF_KTHREAD directly. It was later found that not all kernel threads set     PF_KTHREAD. The io-uring helpers instead set PF_USER_WORKER and this needed to be added as well. But     checking the flags is still not enough. There's a very small window when a task exits that it frees its mm     field and it is set back to NULL. If perf were to trigger at this moment, the flags test would say its a     user space task but when perf would read the mm field it would crash with at NULL pointer dereference. Now     there are flags that can be used to test if a task is exiting, but they are set in areas that perf may     still want to profile the user space task (to see where it exited). The only real test is to check both     the flags and the mm field. Instead of making this modification in every location, create a new     is_user_task() helper function that does all the tests needed to know if it is safe to read the user space     memory or not.
