6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel KCM (Kernel Connection Multiplexer) module, RCU protection was missing during execution of a BPF program in the strparser, which could trigger kernel warnings during BPF map operations. The fix holds the RCU lock while running the program.

Risk Assessment

It can generate false alerts in kernel logs and cause improper BPF behavior.

Recommendation

Apply the latest kernel patch.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: kcm: Hold RCU read lock while running BPF parser kcm_parse_func_strparser() calls bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu() which prevents CPU migration, but does not establish an RCU read-side critical section. Consequently, BPF map operations can trigger WARN_ON_ONCE(!bpf_rcu_lock_held()) when called from the KCM strparser program. Hold the RCU read lock while running the program.
