Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: don't downgrade half-dead scalar
zero spills to STACK_ZERO states.c:__clean_func_state() can downgrade scalar zero spill to STACK_ZERO in
the following case: *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = 0; ... checkpoint ... r1 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 4); ... no reads from
r10-8 ... Here 4 bytes at r10-8 are dead and verifier changes scalar spill to a combination: 0000pppp (p
stands for poison). Such a change breaks precision propagation chains. All places that produce STACK_ZERO
should call bpf_mark_chain_precision() for the zero source. This patch fixes the bug in a simplest way
possible: avoids converting stack spills of zero to STACK_ZERO. Two smarter approaches are possible: - do
bpf_mark_chain_precision() from __clean_func_state() - check slot liveness information in
check_stack_write_fixed_off() I investigated both and the changes required are a bit tricky, hence go with
a simple fix for the time being. (CVE-2026-98132)
Solution
Update the linux-desktop-7.2-bootc library and its related packages to version 7.2.7-r0 or later.
