CVE-2026-92519

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel on RISC-V, a memory leak occurs in the BPF JIT. When JIT compilation fails for a later subprogram, bpf_jit_free() does not free the context offset array, causing a leak. The fix adds the missing kfree.

Risk Assessment

Kernel memory leak can lead to gradual memory exhaustion and potential system instability.

Recommendation

Update the kernel to a version containing this fix to prevent memory leaks in the BPF JIT path.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: riscv, bpf: Fix memory leak in bpf_jit_free When bpf_int_jit_compile() is called for subprograms, it returns early during the first pass (!prog->is_func || extra_pass is false), keeping ctx->offset alive for the subsequent extra pass. If JIT compilation fails for a later subprogram, the BPF core aborts and calls bpf_jit_free() to clean up the first subprogram. However, bpf_jit_free() fails to free jit_data->ctx.offset, which causes a memory leak of the JIT context offsets array. Fix this by adding the missing kfree(jit_data->ctx.offset) in bpf_jit_free().
