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: Mark signal tracepoint siginfo
arguments as scalar The signal_generate and signal_deliver tracepoints declare their info argument as a
struct kernel_siginfo pointer. btf_ctx_access() therefore treats it as a trusted pointer for tp_btf
programs. Signal delivery also uses SEND_SIG_NOINFO and SEND_SIG_PRIV as special values for this argument.
Those values are zero and one respectively, and are not pointers. A tp_btf program can currently
dereference either value and fault the kernel. In particular, signal_generate can run from timer interrupt
context, turning the fault into a kernel panic. Record both tracepoints in raw_tp_null_args[] and mark
argument one as a non-pointer. This preserves scalar access to the cookie while rejecting direct and
helper-mediated pointer use. Merely marking it nullable would not suffice because SEND_SIG_PRIV is
nonzero. (CVE-2026-98062)
Solution
Update the linux-desktop-7.2-bootc library and its related packages to version 7.2.7-r0 or later.
