CVE-2026-93112 PUBLISHED

bpf: Require a BPF cpumask for bpf_cpumask_populate()

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 17.09.2026 Published: 17.09.2026 Updated: 17.09.2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Require a BPF cpumask for bpf_cpumask_populate()

bpf_cpumask_populate() writes to its destination with bitmap_copy(), but the destination is typed as struct cpumask *. That allows the verifier to accept borrowed cpumask pointers returned by read-only kfuncs, such as scx_bpf_get_online_cpumask(), as a writable destination.

Make the destination a struct bpf_cpumask * so populate follows the same ownership rule as the other mutating cpumask kfuncs. Query kfuncs continue to accept const struct cpumask * inputs.
