per kernel CNA guidance BPF/uprobe link creation is Local, not network-reachable.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls link_create.uprobe_multi offsets/ref_ctr_offsets/cookies pointers and cnt, so __get_user runs on attacker-chosen addresses without races or external conditions; repeated attempts reliably leak or fault.\nPR:L - Exploitation requires a BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE program (CAP_BPF+CAP_PERFMON), routinely delegated via BPF tokens into non-init user namespaces for tracing/container workloads; this is low privilege, not init-namespace root.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is needed; the attacker loads the BPF program, issues BPF_LINK_CREATE with crafted pointers, and can read leaked data back via BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD on their own link.\nS:U - Impact is arbitrary kernel memory disclosure and possible host compromise within the same kernel security authority; it does not cross VM, IOMMU, or container sandbox boundaries by itself.\nC:H - Missing access_ok lets __get_user copy from kernel addresses into uprobes arrays (up to cnt*8 bytes); cookies/offsets can be exfiltrated through bpf_uprobe_multi_link_fill_link_info, giving arbitrary kernel memory read.\nI:H - Leaked kernel pointers and attacker-influenced offset/ref_ctr values feed uprobe_register() breakpoint installation, and the read primitive is standardly chained into arbitrary kernel write and privilege escalation.\nA:H - __get_user on non-userspace addresses can fault under SMAP/PAN and oops the kernel; even failed exploitation attempts can crash the host, and guidance treats serious uaccess bugs as high availability impact."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c"], "versions": [{"version": "89ae89f53d201143560f1e9ed4bfa62eee34f88e", "lessThan": "ff6c5ee77dcc98381290d16af53f6262625870a6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "89ae89f53d201143560f1e9ed4bfa62eee34f88e", "lessThan": "2c387db784293256d35fd3d438f577cc82bb823d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "89ae89f53d201143560f1e9ed4bfa62eee34f88e", "lessThan": "a9f1395028c2bbe18e57864cc355c11faff488cb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "89ae89f53d201143560f1e9ed4bfa62eee34f88e", "lessThan": "c6d51ad36490013ee9df94a372d3bf794bd304d1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "89ae89f53d201143560f1e9ed4bfa62eee34f88e", "lessThan": "4d87a251d45b4a95eb4c0abcfab809c9f231258a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.6", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.6", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.158", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.111", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.53", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.158"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.111"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.53"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ff6c5ee77dcc98381290d16af53f6262625870a6"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2c387db784293256d35fd3d438f577cc82bb823d"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a9f1395028c2bbe18e57864cc355c11faff488cb"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c6d51ad36490013ee9df94a372d3bf794bd304d1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4d87a251d45b4a95eb4c0abcfab809c9f231258a"}], "title": "bpf: Guard __get_user acesss with access_ok for uprobe_multi data", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}, "adp": [{"metrics": [{"other": {"type": "ssvc", "content": {"id": "CVE-2026-74258", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [{"Exploitation": "none"}, {"Automatable": "no"}, {"Technical Impact": "total"}], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T18:51:32.873038Z"}}}], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-16T18:55:28.406Z"}}]}}
