CVE-2026-90304

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel on ARM, do_DataAbort()/do_PrefetchAbort() called force_sig_fault() with interrupts disabled when the unhandled user fault hook returned non-zero. PREEMPT_RT requires interrupts enabled when sending signals, and this could be triggered by user programs executing the bkpt instruction with CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=n. The fix enables interrupts in these paths.

Risk Assessment

This can cause kernel bugs and system instability on ARM with PREEMPT_RT when unhandled user faults occur. It requires local code execution by a user.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the ARM 9484/1 fix. No additional configuration changes are required.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ARM: 9484/1: enable interrupts when unhandled user faults are triggered PREEMPT_RT requires interrupts to be enabled when sending signals. When do_DataAbort()/do_PrefetchAbort() triggers unhandled user faults, that is `inf->fn()` return a non-zero value, and the interrupts are not enabled within the hook function, force_sig_fault() will be called with interrupts disabled. This can be triggered by user programs executing the bkpt instruction, with kernel config CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=n. Enable interrupts in do_DataAbort()/do_PrefetchAbort() when unhandled user faults are triggered to fix the issue.
