CVE-2026-93144 PUBLISHED

bpf: Reject writes through untrusted BTF pointers

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: Reject writes through untrusted BTF pointers

check_ptr_to_btf_access() lets program-type btf_struct_access callbacks validate writes before the default BTF access path rejects non-read accesses. That bypasses the read-only policy for untrusted BTF pointers created by helpers such as bpf_rdonly_cast().

Reject non-read accesses through PTR_UNTRUSTED BTF pointers at the common entry point, before the callback branch to handle all cases.
